“…Higher removals have been reported for trimethoprim during nitrification process (Batt et al, 2006b;Perez et al, 2005) and anaerobic fermentation and sludge digestion (Gobel et al, 2005;Mohring et al, 2009), but it showed high persistence towards aerobic biological treatment (b20%) (Suarez et al, 2010). High aqueous removal percentage of trimethoprim in anoxic unite (39.5% and 53.2%) in plant A and in oxidation ditch (14.3% and 66.9%) in plant B further suggests that the removal of trimethoprim was attributed to the anoxic and anaerobic biodegradation process.…”

“…Livestock wastes containing antibiotic residues are directly or indirectly discharged into surface water or applied onto agricultural lands with little treatment (Kemper, 2008). Antibiotics from human sources can enter into the environment through discharge of treated effluents and sludge from domestic wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) due to incomplete removal, and untreated wastewaters (Batt et al, 2006b;Watkinson et al, 2007;Xu et al, 2007). Therefore, WWTPs play a crucial role in the pollution control of antibiotics to the receiving environments.…”

“…Up to now, most studies on antibiotics in WWTPs focused on the concentration levels of certain antibiotics such as sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline and ciprofloxacin in influent, effluent and sludge (Batt et al, 2006b;Gao et al, 2012;Watkinson et al, 2007;Xu et al, 2007). Several recent studies reported the degradation of some antibiotics in activated sludge systems in laboratory conditions (Kim et al, 2005;Li and Zhang, 2010;Suarez et al, 2010).…”

a b s t r a c tThe widespread occurrence of antibiotics as contaminants in the aquatic environment has increased attention in the last years. The concern over the release of antibiotics into the environment is related primarily to the potential for the development of antimicrobial resistance among microorganisms. This article presents an overview of analytical methodologies for the determination of quinolone (Qs) and fluoroquinolone (FQs), macrolide (MLs), tetracycline (TCs), sulfonamide (SAs) antibiotics and trimethoprim (TMP) in different environmental waters. The analysis of these antibiotics has usually been carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) or tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and to a lesser extent by ultraviolet (UV) or fluorescence detection (FD). A very important step before LC analysis is sample preparation and extraction leading to elimination of interferences and prevention of matrix effect and preconcentration of target analytes.

Up to 95% of pharmaceuticals used in human and veterinary medicine are excreted and land in the aquatic or terrestrial environment. Most of these substances are degraded with difficulty in the environment, resulting in biological effects on bacteria, plants, and animals. Antibiotics and the development of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria are a special problem. At present, environmental damage due to pharmaceuticals is not yet an acute problem for people and animals. Particularly in the European Union, special measures have been taken to reduce the risk of environmental damage due to drugs.
