For our senior research topic, we will be testing the effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) drugs on the growth of crops, specifically, radishes. In our experiment, we will use ibuprofen in water to simulate commonly used drugs that are released into wastewater, and we will soak radish seeds in the water before growing them. After letting the radishes grow over the course of the week, we will measure their roots and determine whether or not NSAIDs flushed into the environment have a significant effect on crop growth. Our research helps the scientific community in the fact that we are researching a developing issue that scientists are still unsure of the effects. Researching how commonly used drugs flushed into the environment affect crop life opens the door to studying how these same drugs affect humans when we ingest the infected crops.
