Mobility and transport of pharmaceuticals nalidixic acid and niflumic acid in saturated soil columns (2024)
Journal Article
Luo, T., Chen, T., Boily, J., & Hanna, K. (2024). Mobility and transport of pharmaceuticals nalidixic acid and niflumic acid in saturated soil columns. Soil & Environmental Health, 2(1), Article 100060. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seh.2024.100060

Pharmaceutical compounds often coexist in mixtures rather than as individual entities. However, little is known about their co-adsorption and co-mobility in soil and groundwater.
