TL;DR: The occurrence and fate of pharmaceuticals and personal care products was investigated in seven wastewater treatment plants in Xiamen City, China and showed that PPCPs were widely detected and their co-occurrence was observed both in the wastewater and sludge that can be attributed to either their similar usage or similar physicochemical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence, fate and interrelation of selected antibiotics in sewage treatment plants and their receiving surface water.
TL;DR: The Spearman correlation analysis of antibiotics in STPs and the nearby water samples suggests that the antibiotics discharged from some STPs might influence the receiving water to some extent, and most of the hazard quotient (HQ) values in STP effluents were one order magnitude higher than those in their receiving water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and fate of pharmaceutically active compounds in the largest municipal wastewater treatment plant in Southwest China: mass balance analysis and consumption back-calculated model.
TL;DR: Mass balance analysis revealed that biodegradation is believed to be the predominant removal mechanism, and sorption onto sludge was a relevant removal pathway for quinolone antibiotics, azithromycin and simvastatin, accounting for 9.35-26.96% of the initial loadings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial distribution and removal performance of pharmaceuticals in municipal wastewater treatment plants in China.
TL;DR: The spatial distribution and removal efficiencies pharmaceuticals in China's WWTPs are investigated, with caffeine showing the highest concentration (up to 1775.98ngL-1) in the WWTP influent and there were significant regional differences in pharmaceutical distribution with higher influent concentrations in the northern cities than the southern ones.

Jun Chen,Wenjing Deng,You-Sheng Liu,Li-Xin Hu,Liang-Ying He,Jian-Liang Zhao,Tuan-Tuan Wang,Guang-Guo Ying +7 more
TL;DR: The results from this study showed the hybrid CWs with artificial aeration could enhance treatment efficiencies of antibiotics and ARGs as well as conventional pollutants.

Antibiotics in the aquatic environment - A review - Part II
TL;DR: This review brings up important questions that are still open, and addresses some significant issues which must be tackled in the future for a better understanding of the behavior of antibiotics in the environment, as well as the risks associated with their occurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global perspective on the use, sales, exposure pathways, occurrence, fate and effects of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) in the environment
TL;DR: This paper has attempted to summarize the latest information available in the literature on the use, sales, exposure pathways, environmental occurrence, fate and effects of veterinary antibiotics in animal agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of antibiotics in the aquatic environment.
TL;DR: From the large number of ground water samples that were taken from agricultural areas in Germany, no contamination by antibiotics was detected except for two sites, which indicates that intake from veterinary applications to the aquatic environment is of minor importance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Veterinary antibiotics in the aquatic and terrestrial environment
TL;DR: A review of the available data on the present use of veterinary antibiotics in agriculture, on the occurrence of antibiotic compounds and resistant bacteria in soil and water and demonstrates the need for further studies as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of antibiotics in conventional and advanced wastewater treatment: implications for environmental discharge and wastewater recycling.
TL;DR: Certain traditional parameters, including nitrate concentration, conductivity and turbidity of the effluent were assessed as predictors of total antibiotic concentration, however only conductivity demonstrated any correlation with total antibiotics concentration.
