“…In contrast, the EEQ concentration for dairy cattle feces in another study was much higher than in the present study, and the highest concentration of 3,048 lg/kg was reported by Lorenzen et al (2004). This disagreement can be explained by the different monitoring methods used in the two studies, because the bioassays (recombinant yeast assays) they applied could overestimate the hormone activity of the samples due to cross contamination (Hanselman et al 2003;Lee et al 2007). Moreover, other estrogenic materials may have contributed to the total hormone activity, such as phytoestrogens and their degradation products which would be included when using bioassays but would not be determined by instrumental detection such as GC/MS or LC/MS/MS (Lorenzen et al 2004;Lee et al 2007).…”

In contrast, Lorenzen et al (2004) observed that EEQ values for estrogen receptor gene transaction activities in 9 beef cattle fecal pats were generally below 20 lg/kg, which are relatively lower than those observed in this study, this may imply the possibility of the application of estrogenic growth promoter compounds in the beef farms in the current study.…”

“…Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are recognized as one of the main sources of natural estrogens which are excreted in the urine and fecal wastes of livestock (Johnson et al 2006). Researches have indicated that leaching and migration of manure-borne estrogens from manure piles or agricultural fields fertilized with animal waste expanded the contamination range, posing a serious threat to surrounding groundwater and surface waters (Lee et al 2007;Arnon et al 2008). It was also found that the reproductive biology of wild fathead minnows exposed to cattle feedlot effluent was significantly altered (Orlando et al 2004).…”

Four estrogens in cattle feces collected from 24 dairy and beef feeding operations located in the northeast of China were investigated. The average concentration of 17a-estradiol, 17b-estradiol and estrone in dairy feces was 194.6, 104.4, and 262 lg/kg, respectively. While as to beef waste the mean content of 17a-estradiol, 17b-estradiol and estrone was 104.5, 67.7 and 216.4 lg/kg, respectively. Estriol was below the detection limit in all samples. The 17b-estradiol equivalents of all samples ranged from 45.8 to 926.1 lg/kg and dairy together with beef probably generated 16 times more estrogens than the human population in the study area.

“…The data of antibiotics in wastewater sources are generally unavailable or unreliable due to the lack of mandatory regulations in many countries. In addition, environmental factors such as landscape and climate can affect the transport of antibiotics from their sources to receiving water (Lee et al 2007). Watershed rainfall-runoff process can also be a dominant factor on the variation of antibiotic concentration in surface water.…”

To quantify the extent of antibiotic contamination and to identity the dominant pollutant sources in the Tiaoxi River Watershed, surface water samples were collected at eight locations and analyzed for four tetracyclines and three sulfonamides using ultraperformance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The observed maximum concentrations of tetracycline (623 ng L ) exceeded their corresponding Predicted No Effect Concentration (PNEC) values. In particular, high concentrations of antibiotics were observed in wet summer with heavy rainfall. The maximum concentrations of antibiotics appeared in the vicinity of intensive aquaculture areas. High-resolution land use data were used for identifying diffuse source of antibiotic pollution in the watershed. Significant correlations between tetracycline and developed (r = 0.93), tetracycline and barren (r = 0.87), oxytetracycline and barren (r = 0.82), and sulfadiazine and agricultural facilities (r = 0.71) were observed. In addition, the density of aquaculture significantly correlated with doxycycline (r = 0.74) and oxytetracycline (r = 0.76), while the density of livestock significantly correlated with sulfadiazine (r = 0.71). Principle Component Analysis (PCA) indicated that doxycycline, tetracycline, oxytetracycline, and sulfamethoxazole were from aquaculture and domestic sources, whereas sulfadiazine and sulfamethazine were from livestock wastewater. Flood or drainage from aquaculture ponds was identified as a major source of antibiotics in the Tiaoxi watershed. A hot-spot map was created based on results of land use analysis and multivariable statistics, which provided an effective management tool of sources identification in watersheds with multiple diffuse sources of antibiotic pollution.

“…The spreading of pathogens, steroid hormones, and nutrients from land-applied animal slurry is a hazard for the aquatic environment (Doltra and Munoz, 2010;Guber et al, 2005;Jenkins et al, 2009;Laegdsmand et al, 2009;Lee et al, 2007). Pathogenic contamination of ready-to-eat types of crops or drinking water can cause various diseases in humans (van Overbeek et al, 2010).…”

a b s t r a c tSpreading of contaminants from land-applied animal slurry may create hazard for both soil and water environments. Both the leaching and persistence of the contaminants is controlled by the redistribution of the contaminants immediately after application, while the redistribution is influenced by site conditions (here different slurry dry matter content and soil texture). HYDRUS-2D was used to simulate the redistribution of water, chloride, mineral N, Salmonella Typhimurium Bacteriophage 28B (phage), Escherichia coli, and steroid hormone estrogens near the slurry injection slit over a 50-day period after slurry injection at two field sites (Silstrup and Estrup) in Denmark to estimate the controlling transport and reaction parameters based on field measurements of the contaminants. The calibrated model was thereafter used to predict the leaching potential into the subsoil. The simulations confirmed that the higher water contents measured in the slurry application slit were due to a change in the hydraulic parameters. Chloride was redistributed considerably beyond the sampled soil profile at Estrup, but not at Silstrup, which had lower hydraulic conductivities than Estrup. Average size of the microorganisms affected their mobility; the bigger the size, the higher was the effect of the site conditions. The sorption coefficient of estrogens for slurry-amended soil was remarkably lower than that for unamended soil. The study suggests that dissolved organic carbon retained in slurry can facilitate the transport of contaminants. E. coli, phage, and estrogens were vulnerable to leaching from the very first precipitation event after the slurry application, whereas mineral N started to leach when NO 3 -N accumulated. Model predictions suggest that there are potential risks of leaching of these contaminants from the top soil to the subsoil associated with the land-injected slurry.
