The military operations in Ukraine have consequences for the biosphere, which is negatively affected by the hostilities, causing its destruction and degradation, - soils. It is currently impossible to fully assess the impact of military and terrorist actions on the environment due to the lack of accurate information. The shelling of civilian and strategically important objects in Ukraine created synergistic conditions for the environment to accumulate and enter through leaching from the soil a large amount of heavy metals into surface water.

Based on literary analysis, the effectiveness of a range of plants (aquatic: Lemna aoukikusa, Lemna minor, Spirodela polyrhiza, Lemna aequinoctialis; vetiver grass Chrysopogon zizanioides) for the purification of wastewater from antibiotics has been investigated. It has been found that the removal efficiency for various types of antibiotics and their concentrations reaches 70 percent or more. This suggests the potential application of these aquatic plants for phytoremediation of wastewater containing antibiotic contaminants.
