“…A large number of drugs are used extensively in both human and veterinary treatments. Furthermore, a large percentage (from 25% to 75%) of veterinary medicines, including their metabolites, pass through animal bodies [2][3][4] and then spread into both the aquatic and terrestrial environments via several different pathways [4,5]. Antibiotics may enter soil matrices during the application of manure and slurry as fertilizers.…”

“…However, the possible physiological effects of pharmaceutical compounds on nontarget species are neglected. In fact, after intake many pharmaceuticals applied in human medical care are not completely eliminated by human bodies, and more than 50% of the intake are excreted with faeces or urine to raw sewage in an unchanged form or slightly transformed [2][3][4]. Besides, many overdue drugs were directly discharged to the environment.…”

“…Little research has been published that evaluates transport of veterinary antibiotics from agricultural fields to surface water. Addison (1984) developed a model to predict antibiotic transport in runoff and sediments from feedlots; however, the model was not tested with actual field data. A few recent studies have evaluated antibiotic leaching potential (Kay et al, 2005a, 2005b; Kreuzig and Höltge, 2005).…”

Antibiotic Transport via Runoff and Soil Loss

Research has verified the occurrence of veterinary antibiotics in manure, agricultural fields, and surface water bodies, yet little research has evaluated antibiotic runoff from agricultural fields. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential for agricultural runoff to contribute antibiotics to surface water bodies in a worst-case scenario. Our hypothesis was that there would be significant differences in antibiotic concentrations, partitioning of losses between runoff and sediment, and pseudo-partitioning coefficients (ratio of sediment concentration to runoff concentration) among antibiotics. An antibiotic solution including tetracycline (TC), chlortetracycline (CTC), sulfathiazole (STZ), sulfamethazine (SMZ), erythromycin (ERY), tylosin (TYL), and monensin (MNS) was sprayed on the soil surface 1 h before rainfall simulation (average intensity = 60 mm h(-1) for 1 h). Runoff samples were collected continuously and analyzed for aqueous and sediment antibiotic concentrations. MNS had the highest concentration in runoff, resulting in the highest absolute loss, although the amount of loss associated with sediment transport was <10%. ERY had the highest concentrations in sediment and had a relative loss associated with sediment >50%. TYL also had >50% relative loss associated with sediment, and its pseudo-partitioning coefficient (P-PC) was very high. The tetracyclines (TC and CTC) had very low aqueous concentrations and had the lowest absolute losses. If agricultural runoff is proven to result in development of resistance genes or toxicity to aquatic organisms, then erosion control practices could be used to reduce TC, ERY, and TYL losses leaving agricultural fields. Other methods will be needed to reduce transport of other antibiotics.
