“…Glyphosate and AMPA are now widespread in soil and a variety of natural waters and sediments (Battaglin et al, 2014;Bento et al, 2019;Carles et al, 2019;Daouk et al, 2013;da Silva et al, 2021;Geng et al, 2021;Maqueda et al, 2017;Peruzzo et al, 2008;Poiger et al, 2017;Silva et al, 2018;Tauchnitz et al, 2020). It has also been detected in air and falling rain (Battaglin et al, 2014;Chang et al, 2011), irrigation water (Gomes et al, 2020), and in outlets from wastewater treatment plants (Poiger et al, 2017). The highest concentrations in surface waters occur in North and South America (Battaglin et al, 2014;Marques et al, 2021;van Bruggen et al, 2018), with values up to 700 μg/L in Argentina (Peruzzo et al, 2008).…”

The herbicide glyphosate interferes with the shikimate pathway in plants and in major groups of microorganisms impeding the production of aromatic amino acids. Glyphosate application on plants results in a slow death, accelerated by reduced resistance to root pathogens. Extensive glyphosate use has resulted in increasing residues in soil and waterways. Although direct glyphosate effects on animals are limited, major concerns have arisen about indirect harmful side effects. In this paper, we focus on indirect effects of sublethal concentrations of glyphosate on plant, animal and human health due to shifts in microbial community compositions in successive habitats. Research results of glyphosate effects on microbial communities in soil, rhizosphere and animal guts have been contradictory due to the different integration levels studied. Most glyphosate studies have tested short-term treatment effects on microbial biomass or general community composition at higher taxonomic levels in soil, rhizosphere or animal intestinal tracts, and found little effect. More detailed studies showed reductions in specific genera or species as well as biological processes after glyphosate application. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and beneficial intestinal bacteria often are negatively affected, while pathogenic bacteria and fungi are enhanced. Such shifts in microbial community composition have been implicated in enhanced susceptibility of plants to Fusarium and Rhizoctonia, of birds and mammals to toxic Clostridium and Salmonella species, and of bees to Serratia and Deformed Wing Virus. In animals and humans, glyphosate exposure and concentrations in urine have been associated with intestinal diseases and neurological as well as endocrine problems, but cause-effect relationships need to be determined in more detail. Nevertheless, outbreaks of several animal and plant diseases have been related to glyphosate accumulation in the environment. Long-term glyphosate effects have been underreported, and new standards will be needed for residues in plant and animal products and the environment.

“…The classification of CECs has also evolved with industrial development, contaminant release matrix, wastewater treatment technologies and challenges, and regulations [5,6]. CECs are also persistent and accumulative in water, and several reports have evidenced the risks of CECs for human health and the environment, even when at very low concentrations [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Among the various possible pathways that explain how these contaminants end in waterbodies, one that remains considerably active is the release of industrial wastewater containing active ingredients such as those used in the manufacturing of PPCPs [17].…”

Significant attention has been paid to contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) for several years due to their persistence in water sources and toxicity. The necessity of upgrading current wastewater treatment technologies is vital to guarantee timely remediation of CECs, particularly given the scarcity of potable water for direct human consumption and even for agricultural irrigation. In this regard, the integration of transition metals onto porous adsorbent materials for use in water and wastewater treatment operations could play a significant role due to their ability to undergo specific interactions (i.e., complexation-type) with CECs at ambient temperature. Furthermore, coupling these interactions with hydrophobicity inducing species or phases in situ (i.e. hierarchically) further enhances affinity and capacity toward CECs. This review highlights the progress so far in the bench-scale design of transition metal-based nanoporous adsorbents, including hierarchical composites prepared via confined space synthesis, for the removal of CECs from water at ambient conditions.

“…A recent study has reported concentrations of CIP ≈ 16 ug/L in several wastewaters (Danner et al 2019) with higher values up to 150 µg/L in the worst-case scenario of residual e uents (Martins et al 2008 Gomes et al 2019). In crop-livestock systems where pesticides are applied in crops at the time veterinary drugs are supplied to livestock, GBH and CIP are likely to be found together, and their accumulation on food crops represents a direct pathway for their insertion into the food chain and health risk (Gomes et al 2020). The accumulation of those substances in food crops represents.…”

The high load of agrochemicals and antibiotics coexisting in aquatic environments within agroecosystems represents a risk for wildlife. As the gut microbiota plays a key role on its host’s functioning and is sensitive to a wide variety of pollutants, its study allows evaluating organisms’ health and therefore, the ecosystem. We studied toxic effects of commercial formulations of a glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH) and the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP) on gut bacterial microbiota diversity of the common toad (Rhinella arenarum) tadpoles, considered a sentinel species. The study was carried out by classic microbiological analysis and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. The microbiota from GBH treatment had greater taxa diversity and richness, including some genera, such as Proteus spp. and Yersinia spp. that were absent in control. In contrast, microbiota from CIP treatment registered a decrease of diversity indexes, dominance of Aeromonas spp. and presence of Leclercia spp. The GBH-CIP treatment showed changes in taxa composition, including decrease of Klebsiella spp. and Pseudomonas spp. and trends of individual pollutant treatments. For all cases, changes in the composition of bacterial community (dysbiosis) were linked to a significant decrease in tadpoles’ weight. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the disruption of gut bacterial microbiota of tadpoles by a mixture of two contaminants of emerging concern worldwide. These findings contribute to understanding how the presence of two co-occurring pollutants in freshwaters results in deleterious effects on the amphibian community and potentially affect the microbiota of those environments.
