Description
Müjgan Elveren tests pollutant mixes on wheat and barley in a 2025 study. Drugs such as painkillers and antibiotics, plus artificial sweeteners, reach farm soils through water and waste. Plants grown for fifteen days with a combined dose showed clear stress in both crops.
Cell leakage rose, and defense enzymes surged as the plants fought chemical harm. At the same time, green pigments, protective compounds, and antioxidant power fell well below untreated plants. The mix thus dulled photosynthesis while straining defense systems. Readers get evidence that blended contaminants, not just single ones, pose real risks to crops and farm ecosystems.
