Published: March 19, 2024

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as a reference point in the global policy-making process, with their quantitative evaluation at various scales integrating spatial planning still under exploration. Major Function Oriented Zone (MFOZ) China emerges an innovative strategy, focusing on ecosystem services to achieve sustainable development. This study takes MFOZ example, and assesses SDG implementation within framework, 288 cities. Then, this analyzes zoning types of realization status through cluster analysis. Based this, we explore influencing factors SDGs from perspective socioeconomic environmental characteristics, services, propose target strategies. The research found that there are four according status, including mixed-oriented high consumption output (24.3%), non-agriculture-oriented low (12.5%), agriculture-oriented (55.9%), (7.3%) Most cities do not demonstrate efficiency resource output, urgently needs improve. Socio-economic development during urbanization challenges SDGs, while traditional measures have limited effects. Ecosystem could help improve GDP growth rate, reduce water intensity carbon emissions. Focusing solely numerical values such efficiency, may harm go against underscores necessity adapting strategies unique contexts has practical significance for enabling more targeted effective implementation, planning, aligning local efforts sustainability aspirations.

The presence of pharmaceutical pollutants in water sources has become a growing concern due to its potential impacts on human health and other organisms. physicochemical properties pharmaceuticals based their intended therapeutical application, which include antibiotics, hormones, analgesics, antidepressants, is quite diverse. Their wastewater, sewerage water, surface ground even drinking reported by many researchers throughout the world. Human exposure these through or consumption aquatic terrestrial organisms raised concerns about adverse effects, such as endocrine disruption, antibiotic resistance, developmental abnormalities.

Are pharmaceutical residues in crops a threat to human health?

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 87(19), P. 773 - 791

Once soil environment, may be taken up by crops, resulting consequent exposure pharmaceutical residues. potential side effects administered medicine are widely documented; however, far less is known regarding risks that arise from incidental dietary exposure. aim this study was evaluate residues crops assess associated risk health for a range frequently detected soils. Estimated concentrations carbamazepine, oxytetracycline, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, tetracycline were used conjunction with plant uptake crop consumption data estimate daily exposures each compound. Exposure compared Acceptable Daily Intakes (ADIs) determine level risk. Generally, lower than ADIs. exceptions trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole under conservative, worst-case scenarios, where predicted.

The reuse of wastewater to meet irrigation requirements and slurries, sludges manures as fertilisers crop nutrient demands inadvertently introduces human veterinary-use pharmaceuticals into the agro-ecosystem. This review synthesises recent research, which has observed sub-lethal effects, following pharmaceutical uptake by plants. Potential links between mode action effects in plant were then examined. Common receptors biological pathways across species suggests a clear need integrate cellular biology our understanding impacts on important functions processes.

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(4), P. 941 - 941

Published: April 12, 2025

Water scarcity has become an increasingly critical global issue, affecting various sectors, including industrial, domestic, and particularly agriculture. Agriculture, as the largest consumer of water due to its substantial requirements for food production, faces significant challenges, which are expected intensify with growth population. As a result, many countries have begun explore innovative solutions address this pressing problem, one is reuse wastewater irrigation purposes. This approach gained particular attention in viticulture, where consumption high, need sustainable practices paramount. paper delves into issue scarcity, focusing specifically on winemaking sector. It reviews several studies investigating potential irrigating vineyards, highlighting both promising benefits challenges associated practice. The findings suggest that using treated viticulture offers viable solution mitigate shortages, regions facing severe droughts or limited freshwater resources. However, successful implementation requires careful monitoring management factors, soil quality, plant health, fruit development, final wine product. Ensuring safety quality wine, well safeguarding necessitates rigorous oversight prevent any negative impacts from use reclaimed water.
