Chlorophyll a fluorescence and metabolic profiling of Spirodela polyrhiza reveal the phytotoxic effects of pantoprazole as an emerging aquatic xenobiotic

Pantoprazole (PPZ), a benzimidazole-class proton pump inhibitor widely used for treating gastric acid-related disorders, is increasingly detected in aquatic environments, yet its phytotoxic effects on freshwater macrophytes remain poorly understood. This study evaluated the effec...
