“…As soils become acidic, fluoride mobility increases allowing concentrations to increase [24]. Alternatively, as pH shifts becoming alkaline, arsenic mobility increases, resulting in elevated concentrations [25]. These fluctuations in pH control the concentration levels of arsenic and fluoride in groundwater and soils.…”

This study evaluates the groundwater qualities and environmental changes to obtain information on the groundwater contamination in the Permian Basin, Texas. Coupled with the U.S. government’s open data, these analyses can identify regions where environmental change could have affected groundwater quality. A total of thirty-six wells were selected within the six counties: Andrews, Martin, Ector, Midland, Crane, and Upton. Spatial distribution maps were created for six different parameters: pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), chloride, fluoride, nitrate, and arsenic. Total groundwater quality maps incorporate all the contaminants and denote regions of poor, medium, and optimum conditions. To identify spatial changes in groundwater quality, maps were separated into two different time intervals, 1992–2005 and 2006–2019. We found that groundwater contamination resulted primarily from the mobilization of the contaminant from anthropogenic activities such as chemical fertilizers, oil and gas developments. Overall, groundwater quality decreased during the study period from 1992 to 2019 as population and urban growth began to develop in the Permian Basin. This study contributes on understanding of the response of groundwater quality associated with environmental change in the Permian Basin. Therefore, this research provides important information for groundwater managements in developing plans for the use of water resource in the future.

“…In fact, the increasing use of antibiotics leads to the continuous release of them into the environment and their aggregation in various ecosystems can threaten human and animal health (Harrabi et al, 2018). The direct and indirect effects of many pollutants on different ecosystems and organisms have been well documented (Alavian Petroody, Hamidian, Ashrafi, Eagderi, & Khazaee, 2017;Hamidian, Razeghi, Zhang, & Yang, 2019;Hamidian, Zareh, Poorbagher, Vaziri, & Ashrafi, 2016;Khazaee et al, 2016;Majnoni, Rezaei, Mansouri, & Hamidian, 2013;Mansouri, Pourkhabbaz, Ebrahimpour, Babaei, & Hamidian, 2013;Mirzajani, Hamidian, Abbasi, & Karami, 2016;Mirzajani, Hamidian, Bagheri, & Karami, 2016;Norouzi, Mansouri, Hamidian, Ebrahimi, & Kardoni, 2012;Norouzi, Mansouri, Hamidian, Zarei, & Mansouri, 2012;Rajaei, Mansouri, Jahantigh, & Hamidian, 2012;Rezaei Kalvani, Sharaai, Manaf, & Hamidian, 2011;Taheri, Hamidiyan, & Khazaei, 2013), and various methods for their removal have been tested and implemented (Mojoudi, Hamidian, Goodarzian, & Eagderi, 2018;Mojoudi, Hamidian, Zhang, & Yang, 2019;Nekoei et al, 2009;Padashbarmchi, Hamidian, Zhang, et al, 2015;Veisi et al, 2010). There are still much to know about the detection, effects, and removal of antibiotics in terrestrial and especially aquatic environment.…”

Antibiotics have extensively been applied to rescue a great number of lives through prevention and treatment of contagious diseases and infections. They are either natural or human-made substances, which are broadly employed for promoting the health condition of human, plant, and animal. However, antibiotics are known to exert detrimental impacts on useful and nontarget microbiota of the biological system due to the overuse, continuous discharge into the environment, and subsequently aggregation in various environmental matrices. Physical and chemical properties help to evaluate whether a substance is more likely to concentrate on the terrestrial, aquatic, or atmospheric environmental matrix as well as its fate. Therefore, appropriate characterization and proper understanding of physicochemical attributes of antibiotics are indispensable to protect ecosystem health. In this paper, the antibiotic classifications and their physicochemical properties were reviewed with emphasis on detection in the aqueous environment. • Practitioner points• Antibiotic compounds were classified in main classes, groups, and their main use. • Tetracyclines, sulfonamides, aminoglycosides, macrolides, β-lactams, quinolones, polyether ionophores, and glycopeptides are the most commonly detected antibiotics in the aquatic environment. • Physical-chemical properties of the main antimicrobial classes were mentioned. • Physicochemical properties can change under different environmental conditions such as pH and temperature.

“…Arsenic is often widespread in hot spring deposits (e.g., Webster and Nordstrom, 2003), but not many works investigated As in the associated travertine (Pentecost, 2005;Catelani et al, 2018). In addition to Costagliola et al (2013), travertines with concentrations of As of hundreds to thousands mg/kg were documented in Iran (Hamidian et al, 2019;Khorasanipour & Esmaeilzadeh, 2015), Greece (Kampouroglou et al, 2017;Winkel et al, 2013), and Turkey (Dogan & Dogan, 2007), commonly associated with tectonically active areas, where the waning stages of Quaternary volcanic activity set up hydrothermal circulation at a basin scale, vehiculating emissions of CO 2 -rich fluids to the surface (Minissale et al, 2002). High concentrations of HCO 3 -, as those commonly observed at the thermal pools of Viterbo (Duchi et al, 1985;Di Benedetto et al, 2011), may indeed favor the leaching of As from the rock pile, represented in the study area by volcanic rocks (Casentini et al, 2010), during the fluid ascent (Anawar et al, 2004).…”

Thermal waters near the city of Viterbo (Central Italy) are known to show high As contents (up to 600 µg/l). Travertine is precipitated by these waters, forming extended plateau. In this study, we determine the As content, speciation and bioaccessibility in soil and travertine samples collected near a recreational area highly frequented by local inhabitants and tourists to investigate the risk of As exposure through accidental ingestion of soil particles. (Pseudo)total contents in the studied soils range from 17 to 528 mg/kg, being higher in soil developed on a travertine substrate (197 ± 127 mg/kg) than on volcanic rocks (37 ± 13 mg/kg). In travertines, most As is bound to the carbonatic fraction, whereas in soil the semimetal is mostly associated with the oxide and residual fractions. Accordingly, bioaccessibility (defined here by the simplified bioaccessibility extraction test, SBET; Oomen et al., 2002.) is maximum (up to 139 mg/kg) for soil developed on a travertine substrate, indicating a control of calcite dissolution on As bioaccessibility. On the other hand, risk analysis suggests a moderate carcinogenic risk associated with accidental soil ingestion, while dermal contact is negligible. By contrast, ingestion of thermal water implies a higher carcinogenic and systemic health risk.
