Comprehensive evaluation of antibiotics emission and fate in the river basins of China: source analysis, multimedia modeling, and linkage to bacterial resistance.

TL;DR: This is the first comprehensive study which demonstrates an alarming usage and emission of various antibiotics in China and the bacterial resistance rates in the hospitals and aquatic environments were found to be related to the PECs and antibiotic usages, especially for those antibiotics used in the most recent period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence and fate of emerging contaminants in municipal wastewater treatment plants from different geographical regions-a review.

TL;DR: Many antibiotics were detected in the influents and effluents of WWTPs at concentrations close to or exceeding the predicted no-effect concentrations (PNECs) for resistance selection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review of antibiotic resistance in China and its environment

TL;DR: It is important to understand the current state of antibiotic use in China and its relationship to ARG prevalence and diversity in the environment, and also future needs in mitigating the spread of antibiotic resistance in the environments, particularly under the 'planetary health' perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic pollution in the environment: a review.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected information from several investigations on the sources and occurrences of antibiotics in natural and artificial environmental systems, including water resources, effluent from industries, sludge, manure, soil, plants, and organisms across the globe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into the Fate and Removal of Antibiotics in Engineered Biological Treatment Systems: A Critical Review

TL;DR: This review systematically summarizes the behavior and removal of different antibiotics in various biological treatment systems with discussion on their removal efficiency, removal mechanisms, critical bioreactor operating conditions affecting antibiotics removal, and recent innovative advancements.

A national reconnaissance for pharmaceuticals and other organic wastewater contaminants in the United States--II) untreated drinking water sources.

TL;DR: Data will help prioritize and determine the need, if any, for future occurrence, fate and transport, and health-effects research for subsets of these chemicals and their degradates most likely to be found in water resources used for drinking water in the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence of antimicrobials in the final effluents of wastewater treatment plants in Canada.

TL;DR: The antimicrobials frequently detected in WWTP effluents appear to be those prescribed heavily in Canada for medical applications, and these compounds should be considered priority compounds for monitoring in surface water near WWTP discharges.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodegradation and Adsorption of Antibiotics in the Activated Sludge Process

TL;DR: At environmental relevant concentrations tested in this study, biodegradation and adsorption were the major removal routes for the target antibiotics, where volatilization and hydrolysis were neglectable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence and source analysis of typical veterinary antibiotics in manure, soil, vegetables and groundwater from organic vegetable bases, northern China.

TL;DR: The results showed that there was no obvious geographical difference in antibiotic distribution between soil and manure, and a simple migration model can be easy and quick to predict the accumulation of antibiotics in soil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence of antibiotics in wastewater treatment facilities in Wisconsin, USA

TL;DR: Future intensive wastewater monitoring programs in Wisconsin may be limited to the six antibiotic compounds detected in this study, which were within an order of magnitude of those reported for similar systems in Europe and Canada.
