Antibiotics, as antimicrobial drugs, have been widely applied human and veterinary medicines. Recently, many antibiotics detected in the environments due to their mass production, widespread use, but a lack of adequate treatment processes. The environmental occurrence has received worldwide attention potential harm ecosystem health. Research status environment field is presented by bibliometrics. Herein, we provided comprehensive overview on following important issues: (1) different compartments, such wastewater, surface water, soil; (2) toxicity toward non-target organisms, including aquatic terrestrial organisms; (3) current technologies for degradation removal antibiotics, adsorption, hydrolysis, photodegradation oxidation, biodegradation. It was found that macrolides, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, sulfonamides were most frequently environment. Compared groundwaters, wastewater contained high concentration antibiotic residues. Both metabolites exhibited especially organisms (e.g., algae fish). Fluoroquinolones, can be removed through abiotic process, photodegradation, oxidation. Fluoroquinolones directly undergo Further studies chronic effects at environmentally relevant concentrations urgently needed fully understand hazards help government establish permissible limits. Biodegradation promising technology; it numerous advantages cost-effectiveness friendliness.

The Use of Antibiotics and Antimicrobial Resistance in Veterinary Medicine, a Complex Phenomenon: A Narrative Review

Antibiotics, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(3), P. 487 - 487

Published: March 1, 2023

As warned by Sir Alexander Fleming in his Nobel Prize address: "the use of antimicrobials can, and will, lead to resistance". Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has recently increased due the overuse misuse antibiotics, their animals (food-producing companion) also resulted selection transmission resistant bacteria. The epidemiology is complex, factors other than overall quantity antibiotics consumed may influence it. Nowadays, AMR a serious impact on society, both economically terms healthcare. This narrative review aimed provide scenario state phenomenon veterinary medicine related different animal species; that it can have animals, as well humans environment, was considered. Providing some particular instances, authors tried explain vastness many diverse aspects cannot always be controlled. veterinarian main reference point here high responsibility towards human-animal-environment triad. Sharing such burden with human cooperating together for same purpose (fighting containing AMR) represents an effective example application One Health approach.

A review of emerging micro-pollutants in hospital wastewater: Environmental fate and remediation options

Results in Engineering, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 16, P. 100671 - 100671

Hospitals played vital role in the maintenance and sustenance of human health. However, hospital activities generate high volume toxic solid liquid containing diverse inorganic, organic microbial wastes released untreated into ecosystem. The management wastewater particular has been a major source concern due to presence unregulated emerging micro-pollutants at concentrations range ng/L μg/L. These pollutants low concentration exert different potential health effects on aquatic species. In this review, formation, composition, properties ecotoxicology selected (Norfloxacin, Ofloxacin, Ciprofloxacin, Clofibric acid Carbamazepine) were reviewed. review also elucidates detection quantification micropollutants by Spectrophotometry techniques, Gas Chromatography, Ion Chromatography-Mass spectrometry, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. Furthermore, treatment through physical, biological, chemical, adsorption advanced oxidation processes such as photocatalysis photo-Fenton including their operational mechanism provided. chemistry degradation several intermediates It was found that conventional methods are not designed for effective removal these because they exist mixtures very exerts toxicological effects. reveals no single technology can effectively detoxify wastewater, instead combination (phototcatalytic/adsorption or photo-fenton/adsorption) most appropriate treatment. Finally, regular monitoring determination physicochemical ecotoxicological parameters recommended.
