Luigi Rizzo,Célia M. Manaia,Christophe Merlin,Thomas Schwartz,Christophe Dagot,Marie-Cécile Ploy,I. Michael,Despo Fatta-Kassinos +7 more
TL;DR: The final objective is to implement wastewater treatment technologies capable of assuring the production of UWTPs effluents with an acceptable level of ARB, to understand the factors and mechanisms that drive antibiotic resistance maintenance and selection in wastewater habitats.

Urban wastewater treatment plants as hotspots for the release of antibiotics in the environment: a review
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecotoxicological aspects related to the presence of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment
Lúcia Santos,Alberto N. Araújo,Adriano Fachini,A. Pena,Cristina Delerue-Matos,Maria C. B. S. M. Montenegro +5 more
TL;DR: An extensive review of existing data in the form of tables, encompassing many therapeutic classes is presented and the different contamination sources as well as fate and both acute and chronic effects on non-target organisms are reviewed.

Degradation and removal methods of antibiotics from aqueous matrices--a review.
Vera Homem,Lúcia Santos +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that ozonation, Fenton/photo-Fenton and semiconductor photocatalysis were the most tested methodologies and combined processes seem to be the best solution for the treatment of effluents containing antibiotics, especially those using renewable energy and by-products materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pharmaceuticals as emerging contaminants and their removal from water. A review
TL;DR: The most representative pharmaceutical families found in water were described and related water pollution issues were analyzed and the performances of different water treatment systems in the removal of pharmaceuticals were summarized.

Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic wastewater contaminants in U.S. streams, 1999-2000: a national reconnaissance.
Dana W. Kolpin,Edward T. Furlong,Michael T. Meyer,E. Michael Thurman,Steven D. Zaugg,Larry B. Barber,Herbert T. Buxton +6 more
TL;DR: The U.S. Geological Survey used five newly developed analytical methods to measure concentrations of 95 organic wastewater contaminants (OWCs) in water samples from a network of 139 streams across 30 states during 1999 and 2000 as mentioned in this paper.

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products in the environment: agents of subtle change?
TL;DR: This review attempts to synthesize the literature on environmental origin, distribution/occurrence, and effects and to catalyze a more focused discussion in the environmental science community.

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.
