Abstract
⺠Mineralisation of toxic pollutants can be higher in soil than in water. ⺠Ciprofloxacin affects the microbial communities and activities in soil. ⺠Toxicity of ciprofloxacin is reduced in soil due to sorption processes. ⺠Despite the buffering capacity of soil, ciprofloxacin remains active. ⺠Ciprofloxacin resistance can develop in soils contaminated with this antibiotic.
