Usage, residue, and human health risk of antibiotics in Chinese aquaculture: A review.
TL;DR: A national comprehensive investigation on the amount of antibiotics used in Chinese aquaculture is still needed, and the risk of antimicrobial resistance in human body, when exposed to antibiotics at sub-inhibitory concentrations, has not been exhaustively considered in the risk assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on environmental monitoring of water organic pollutants identified by EU guidelines
TL;DR: Most frequent substances as well as those found at highest concentrations in different seasons and regions, together with available risk assessment data, may be useful to identify possible future PS candidates.

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
Heavy use of prophylactic antibiotics in aquaculture: a growing problem for human and animal health and for the environment
TL;DR: Global efforts are needed to promote more judicious use of prophylactic antibiotics in aquaculture as accumulating evidence indicates that unrestricted use is detrimental to fish, terrestrial animals, and human health and the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental risk assessment of pharmaceutical residues in wastewater effluents, surface waters and sediments.
TL;DR: RQ was applied as a novel approach to estimate the environmental risk of pharmaceuticals that are most frequently detected in wastewater effluents, surface waters and sediments and its continuous introduction in the environment may make them "pseudopersistents".
