Antibiotics: An overview on the environmental occurrence, toxicity, degradation, and removal methods.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided a comprehensive overview on the occurrence of antibiotics in different environmental compartments, such as wastewater, surface water, and soil; toxicity of antibiotics toward non-target organisms, including aquatic and terrestrial organisms; and current treatment technologies for the degradation and removal of antibiotics, including adsorption, hydrolysis, photodegradation and oxidation, and biodegradation.

Antibiotic residues in wastewaters from sewage treatment plants and pharmaceutical industries: Occurrence, removal and environmental impacts.
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper collected wastewaters from different treatment points of two wastewater treatment plants and two pharmaceutical manufactories (PMFs) in eastern China, and compared the removal of antibiotics by anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (A2O), membrane bioreactor (MBR), and conventional activated sludge (CAS) systems.

Thomas P. Van Boeckel,Sumanth Gandra,Ashvin Ashok,Quentin Caudron,Bryan T. Grenfell,Bryan T. Grenfell,Simon A. Levin,Ramanan Laxminarayan,Ramanan Laxminarayan,Ramanan Laxminarayan +9 more
TL;DR: To prevent a striking rise in resistance in low-income and middle-income countries with large populations and to preserve antibiotic efficacy worldwide, programmes that promote rational use through coordinated efforts by the international community should be a priority.

TL;DR: It is found that the antibiotic consumption rate in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) has been converging to (and in some countries surpassing) levels typically observed in high-income countries, and projected total global antibiotic consumption through 2030 was up to 200% higher than the 42 billion DDDs estimated in 2015.

I. Michael,Luigi Rizzo,Christa S. McArdell,Célia M. Manaia,Christophe Merlin,Thomas Schwartz,Christophe Dagot,Despo Fatta-Kassinos +7 more
TL;DR: The aim of the present paper is to critically review the fate and removal of various antibiotics in wastewater treatment, focusing on different processes (i.e. biological processes, advanced treatment technologies and disinfection) in view of the current concerns related to the induction of toxic effects in aquatic and terrestrial organisms.
