Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Trends in Antibiotic Resistance Genes Occurrence in the Haihe River, China
TL;DR: In this article, the occurrence of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) was quantified in water and sediment samples collected from a 72 km stretch of the Haihe River, China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and elimination of antibiotics at four sewage treatment plants in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), South China
TL;DR: It can be concluded that the observed elimination of fluoroquinolones in the STPs was due to their sorption to the sludge, but not biodegradation, and the occurrence and elimination of eight selected antibiotics mainly for human use were investigated at four sewage treatment plants in the Pearl River Delta.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening of Human Antibiotic Substances and Determination of Weekly Mass Flows in Five Sewage Treatment Plants in Sweden
TL;DR: Analysis of the weekly mass flows through each STP showed that FQs were partly eliminated from the water during sewage water treatment and the highest amounts of these substances were found in sludge, indicating that they too can withstand sewageWater treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem response to antibiotics entering the aquatic environment
TL;DR: Findings from this preliminary research have indicated that antibiotics are entering the authors' aquatic systems and pose a potential threat to ecosystem function and potentially human health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental exposure and risk assessment of fluoroquinolone antibacterial agents in wastewater and River water of the Glatt Valley Watershed, Switzerland
TL;DR: The risk quotients obtained suggest a low probability for adverse effects of the occurring FQs, either on microbial activity in WWTPs or on algae, daphnia, and fish in surface waters, following the recommendations of the European guidelines or draft documents.
