This review covers the present scenario on VA usage, occurrence, toxicity, and removal techniques in the aquatic and terrestrial environments.
Abstract
The increasing worldwide usages of Veterinary Antibiotics (VAs) for therapeutic and nontherapeutic are becoming serious issue due to its adverse effects on all living organisms. Release of VAs into the aquatic and terrestrial environments results in antibiotic resistance in bacteria and toxicity to humans, animals, and plants. This review covers the present scenario on VA usage, occurrence, toxicity, and removal techniques.

Antibiotics in the Soil Environment-Degradation and Their Impact on Microbial Activity and Diversity.

TL;DR: The results presented in this review show that antibiotics affect soil microorganisms by changing their enzyme activity and ability to metabolize different carbon sources, as well as by altering the overall microbial biomass and the relative abundance of different groups in microbial communities.

A review of plant–pharmaceutical interactions: from uptake and effects in crop plants to phytoremediation in constructed wetlands

TL;DR: The aim of the current work was to map the present knowledge concerning pharmaceutical interactions with plants in terms of uptake and the use of plant-based systems for phytoremediation purposes to give an in-depth overview of the phytotoxicity of pharmaceuticals, their uptake and their removal by plants.
