This study investigated the influence of paracetamol as a pollutant from wastewater on the beans plant (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). We used a portable gas exchange system to determine the photosynthetic parameters, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique to determine the volatile organic compounds (VOC) produced by plants, and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) to analyse the plants pigments (chlorophylls and β-carotene). The plants were grown in pots and treated with diverse concentrations of paracetamol. The residual concentration of paracetamol from the environment can be detrimental to the growth and development of the plants. Paracetamol influences the photosynthetic parameters (net assimilation rate and stomatal conductance), the emission rate of (Z)-3-hexenol, the concentration of 3-carene (one out the 3 monoterpenes identified in plant emission besides α-pinene and camphene), and β-carotene on Phaseolus vulgaris L. Chlorophyll was not influenced by paracetamol concentration.
