Presence of antibiotic residues in various environmental compartments of Shandong province in eastern China: Its potential for resistance development and ecological and human risk

Abstract: Antibiotic pollutants were ubiquitous in various environmental compartments of Shandong province of China. Risk estimates indicated a potential for the measured levels of enrofloxacin, levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin in waste water to pose an ecological risk for resistance selection, and further studies are needed to validate this finding. The investigated antibiotics did not appear to pose an appreciable direct human health risk from environmental exposure through drinking water or vegetables consumption. Howe… Show more

“…In a previous study, SDZ was detected in a Greek WWTP at concentrations up to 846 and 194 ng/L in influent and effluent, respectively, only during the spring season (Papageorgiou et al 2016). According to the literature, SMX is one of the most commonly detected sulfonamides in WWTPs worldwide (Hanna et al 2018). In another WWTP in Finland, SMX was found at mean concentrations of 202 and 130 ng/L in influent and effluent, respectively (Ngumba et al 2016).…”

“…Since the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming in 1929 [1], antibiotics have been widely used to treat and prevent infectious diseases in humans and animals. To improve reproduction efficiency, they are also used for the feed of animals in agriculture and aquaculture [2] all over the world. In China, the total antibiotic usage in 2013 was approximately 162,000 tons [3].…”

“…Global abuse of antibiotics has aroused wide public concern, because they pose a serious threat to human health and the ecosystem. Among these antibiotics, between 30 and 90% of those used in humans and animals are excreted unchanged or as active metabolites into the environment via urine and feces [2]. In the Songhua River in Northeastern China, 12 common antibiotics were detected simultaneously in 2019 [4].…”
