Results of the effect of mixtures of ketoprofen with three cations on the germination of Sorghum bicolor (sorghum) seeds

The research data includes an attempt to verify whether the addition of cations (sodium, ammonium and potassium) at levels found in the environment would affect the toxicity of pharmaceuticals to Sorghum Bicolor grain. Ion concentrations were selected based on studies of water samples collected in water bodies receiving wastewater from wastewater treatment plants in Poland, as described in Kudlak B, Wieczerzak M, Yotova G, Tsakovski S, Simeonov V, Namieśnik J (2016) Environmental risk assessment of Polish wastewater treatment plant activity. Chemosphere 160:181-188. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2016.06.086) Plates (prepared as described in Wieczerzak M, Kudłak B, Namieśnik J (2018) Impact of selected drugs and their binary mixtures on the germination of Sorghum bicolor (sorghum) seeds Environmental Science and Pollution Research (2018) 25:18717-18727https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-018-2049-4) were saturated with solutions of selected pharmaceuticals and ions in such a way that the final concentrations were as shown in Table 2. The data sets include photos of sorghum seed plates with ion mixtures at appropriate levels according to the publication, and corresponding excel files with data on the length of germinated seeds (using Jimage graphical software) in two replicates, as well as controls with water and the mentioned Table 2.
Studies were conducted between 2017.These results are part of the manuscript published in Science of the Total Environment
