Environmental risk assessments of multiclass pharmaceutical active compounds: selection of high priority concern pharmaceuticals using entropy-utility functions

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of giving both equal and unequal weight to each criterion by using a quantitative entropy method was studied, and two exposure approaches (consumption rate and occurrence of PhACs) and three MCDA (PCA and utility functions with and without equal weights for each criterion) were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution of florfenicol and norfloxacin in ice during water freezing process: Dual effects by fluorine substituents.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of antibiotic molecular structure on the distribution were explored through comparative studies with their non-fluorinated structural analogs, and the results provided a new insight into the transport behaviors of fluorinated pharmaceuticals in ice-water systems.

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.
