  Antibiotics in agriculture - Assessing the impacts of wastewater irrigation on soil health, antimicrobial resistance and crop production
University of York Department of Environment and Geography
  Dr S Toet, Prof A Boxall, Dr A Singer
Application Deadline: 9 January 2019
Why is this project important?. Large amounts of antibiotics are used globally for human and animal treatment. These substances are released to agricultural soils directly through animal excreta, via manure or sewage sludge when applied as fertiliser, and by irrigation of wastewater.
