Occurrence of selected pharmaceuticals in industrial wastewater, receiving waters and fish

Detection, identification and characterization of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases producing Enterobacteriaceae in wastewater and salads marketed in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

“…This high frequency could be explained by the fact that in Burkina Faso, the use of antibiotics is excessive and not controlled in human and animal health (Samandoulougou et al, 2015). In addition, the remains of the antibiotics used and the faeces are poured into the hospital and domestic evacuation channels (Akiba et al, 2015;Lan et al, 2019) . Their presence in the environment could lead to the emergence of antibioticresistant bacteria.…”

A computational analysis of the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of ibuprofen and dibutyl phthalate on gene expression in fish

“…IBU is a major drug detected in aquatic ecosystems due to its high consumption and excretion rate (∼70–80 % of the therapeutic dose) [ 11 ]. IBU has been found in surface waters near sewage effluent releases in Nigeria at 0.02–79.45 μg/L and in Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Britain, and the US at 0.0002–5.04 μg/L [ [13] , [14] , [15] ]. According to Zur et al [ 16 ], IBU was found in receiving waters at a mean concentration of 0.98–67 μg/L in Canada and Greece, 1.0–67 μg/L in Greece, <15–414 μg/L in Korea, and 5.0–280 μg/L in Taiwan.…”
