Several studies have shown that plants can absorb various micropollutants. The behavior of micropollutants from wastewater treatment plant resources was comprehensively investigated in raised beds in which either a mixture of vegetables or maize was grown. The beds were either irrigated with treated wastewater or enriched with sewage sludge or composted sewage sludge.

- The study focused on how organic contaminants interact with soils and sediments, specifically analyzing eleven micropollutants and eight different soil types using the Freundlich sorption isotherm model.
- Triclosan showed the highest sorption coefficient among the micropollutants, indicating its strong affinity to bind with soil, while other drugs like sertraline and venlafaxine also showed notable affinity.
- Multiple linear regression models were developed to correlate the sorption coefficients (K values) with various soil properties, revealing positive and negative correlations with factors like pH, clay content, and oxidizable organic carbon in agricultural soils of the Czech Republic.
