“…There are a handful of review articles on the occurrence, fates, sources, and hazards of antibiotics in global waters [ 8 , 20 ]. Considering that antibiotics have been observed in different environments—including groundwater [ 21 ], lakes [ 22 ], surface water [ 23 ], soils [ 24 ], and sewage [ 25 ]—and due to the threat posed by antibiotics to human health and other organisms [ 26 ], reviewing the latest published works on antibiotics is informative and important. Accordingly, this study was designed to review the occurrence of antibiotics in different parts of marine environments (i.e., water, sediments, and biota) worldwide.…”

Antibiotics, as pollutants of emerging concern, can enter marine environments, rivers, and lakes and endanger ecology and human health. The purpose of this study was to review the studies conducted on the presence of antibiotics in water, sediments, and organisms in aquatic environments (i.e., seas, rivers, and lakes). Most of the reviewed studies were conducted in 2018 (15%) and 2014 (11%). Antibiotics were reported in aqueous media at a concentration of <1 ng/L–100 μg/L. The results showed that the highest number of works were conducted in the Asian continent (seas: 74%, rivers: 78%, lakes: 87%, living organisms: 100%). The highest concentration of antibiotics in water and sea sediments, with a frequency of 49%, was related to fluoroquinolones. According to the results, the highest amounts of antibiotics in water and sediment were reported as 460 ng/L and 406 ng/g, respectively. In rivers, sulfonamides had the highest abundance (30%). Fluoroquinolones (with an abundance of 34%) had the highest concentration in lakes. Moreover, the highest concentration of fluoroquinolones in living organisms was reported at 68,000 ng/g, with a frequency of 39%. According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that sulfonamides and fluoroquinolones are among the most dangerous antibiotics due to their high concentrations in the environment. This review provides timely information regarding the presence of antibiotics in different aquatic environments, which can be helpful for estimating ecological risks, contamination levels, and their management.

“…Many investigations have already demonstrated the existence of antibiotic residues (AR) in soil and sediment (Beltrán de Heredia et al, 2023; Li et al, 2023). AR infiltrates our environment via several methods, the most prevalent of which are the use of manure as fertilizer, the excretion of grazing animals, and the release of wastewater (Christou et al, 2017).…”

The widespread application of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine has led to the pervasive presence of antibiotic residues in the environment, posing a potential hazard to public health. This comprehensive review aims to scrutinize the fate and impact of antibiotic residues, with a particular focus on the context of developing nations. The investigation delves into the diverse pathways facilitating the entry of antibiotics into the environment and meticulously examines their effects on human health. The review delineates the current state of antibiotic residues, evaluates their exposure in developing nations, and elucidates existing removal methodologies. Additionally, it probes into the factors contributing to the endurance and ecotoxicity of antibiotic residues, correlating these aspects with usage rates and associated mortalities in these nations. The study also investigates removal techniques for antibiotic residues, assessing their efficiency in environmental compartments. The concurrent emergence of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, engendered by antibiotic residues, and their adverse ecological threats underscore the necessity for enhanced regulations, vigilant surveillance programs, and the adoption of sustainable alternatives. The review underlines the pivotal role of public education and awareness campaigns in promoting responsible antibiotic use. The synthesis concludes with strategic recommendations, strengthening the imperative for further research encompassing comprehensive monitoring, ecotoxicological effects, alternative strategies, socio‐economic considerations, and international collaborations, all aimed at mitigating the detrimental effects of antibiotic residues on human health and the environment.Practitioner Points Antibiotic residues are widely distributed in different environmental compartments. Developing countries use more antibiotics than developed countries. Human and veterinary wastes are one of the most responsible sources of antibiotic pollution. Antibiotics interact with biological systems and trigger pharmacological reactions at low doses. Antibiotics can be removed using modern biological, chemical, and physical–chemical techniques.

“…The frequency of words allowed the evaluation of variations, changes, and trends to understand the state of the art of the chosen theme. In the last 20 years, the number of publications containing the keyword solid waste or reporting the disposition methods substantially increased [22,68]. The "Electronic equipment residues" are registered as a material that has been increasingly studied in the last few years.…”

The presence of shopping malls causes a social, economic, and environmental impact. The bibliometric analysis is a valuable method used to dentify published research papers, and understand historic information published in scientific journals. This method can be used to carry out qualitative and quantitative analyses of scientific production on a specific subject. This analytical method primarily focuses on analyzing the bibliometric study of the solid waste management method used in shopping malls. A small number of studies on the management process used in shopping malls are reported. However, the last five years have seen a significant increase in the number of publications, and the papers are mostly reported from Europe and Asia. These publications are published in journals with high impact factors and are characterized by a Qualis/Capes grade [34]. Six groups were formed for similarity analyses, and the words waste, food, and environment were used for analysis. Five thematic sub-areas were identified. Based on the results, it was inferred that the waste management study conducted in shopping malls should be an object of research. This will help understand the processes and search for a way to improve the quality of the waste management process.
