TLDR
Twenty-one antibiotics were found in the sewage sludge from the two WWTPs at the concentrations up to 5800ng/g, with tetracycline, oxytetracy Cline, norfloxacin and ofloxacIn being the predominant antibiotics.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotics in a subtropical food web from the Beibu Gulf, South China: Occurrence, bioaccumulation and trophic transfer.
TL;DR: Significantly negative correlation was observed between the log Dow and log BAF values (p < 05), indicating that log Dow is a good predictor of antibiotics bioaccumulation potential in marine organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and fate of antibiotics, antimicrobial resistance determinants and potential human pathogens in a wastewater treatment plant and their effects on receiving waters in Nanjing, China.
TL;DR: The efficiency ofWWTP control of antibiotics, antimicrobial resistance determinants and potential human pathogens and the impact of WWTP effluent on receiving water were identified and data was provided to support the control of the investigated pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological conversion of sulfamethoxazole in an autotrophic denitrification system.
TL;DR: Collectively, the sulfur-based autotrophic denitrification process could effectively remove SMX in addition to efficient nitrate removal, and further polish the effluent from conventional WWTPs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of sulfadiazine in water by a UV/O3 process: performance and degradation pathway
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a combined UV/O3 process for aquatic sulfadiazine (SDZ) removal was investigated, and two different degradation pathways of SDZ by UV-O3 were proposed based on the combination of theoretical calculations and experimental intermediate identification.
Journal ArticleDOI
From consumption to harvest: Environmental fate prediction of excreted ionizable trace organic chemicals
TL;DR: A comparison with peer-reviewed literature showed that model predictions were close to experimental data for elimination in WWTP, concentrations in sewage and sludge and bioconcentration factors (BCFs) in plant tissues, which showed however a large variability.

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.
