Uptake of pharmaceuticals, hormones and parabens into vegetables grown in soil fertilized with municipal biosolids

► Soil was fertilized with biosolids, and planted with vegetables the following season. ► Vegetables were harvested one year post-biosolids application, and analyzed for residues of several micropollutants. ► No micropollutants were consistently taken up. ► A one-year offset between biosolid fertilization and crop uptake reduces risk of micropollutant uptake.
