Abstract Previous studies reported microplastics (MPs), antibiotics, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). There is still a lack of research progress on the origin, fate, impact hazards MPs ARGs WWTPs. This paper fills gap this regard. In our search, we used “microplastics”, “antibiotic genes”, “wastewater plant” as topic terms Web Science, checking returned results for relevance by examining titles abstracts. study mainly explores following points: (1) origins fate MPs, antibiotics WWTPs; (2) mechanisms action sludge biochemical pools; (3) impacts WWTPs spread ARGs; (4) harm inflicted environment human body. Contaminants sewage such ARGs, antibiotic-resistant bacteria enter soil water. can travel through food chain thus reach humans, leading to increased illness, hospitalization, even mortality. will enhance understanding among they inflict

A critical review of the adsorption-desorption characteristics of antibiotics on microplastics and their combined toxic effects

Environmental Technology & Innovation, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 35, С. 103729 - 103729

The interaction between microplastics (MPs) and pollutants is crucial for assessing the environmental risk of MPs. It necessary to pay attention adsorption/desorption behavior antibiotics on MPs due their potential role in antibiotic resistance. When MPs-loaded are ingested by organisms, they enter gastrointestinal tract undergo desorption, leading corresponding toxic effects. Existing literature primarily focuses adsorption behavior, while there a lack systematic generalizations desorption or combined effects organisms. Therefore, this article provides review mechanisms, biological tract. Desorption suggests that characteristics (aging hydrophobicity) components fluid (digestive enzyme species pH) can also have effect desorption. Moreover, summarizes induced MPs-antibiotics, demonstrating either enhance reduce plants, microorganisms, aquatic animals. Since methodological uniformity relevance natural environment main shortcomings existing literature, future research should focus actual water given region studying at gene, protein, metabolic levels. This direction expected provide valuable references insights evaluating antibiotics.

Microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments easily support biofilm development, which can interact with other environmental pollutants and act as harbors for microorganisms. Recently, numerous studies have investigated the fate behavior of MP biofilms environments, highlighting their roles spread pathogens antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) to organisms new habitats. The prevalence effects been extensively recent decades, behaviors need be synthesized systematically updated information. This review aims reveal development its interactions antibiotics, ARGs, environments. Recent research has shown that adsorption capabilities MPs antibiotics are enhanced after formation, is biased towards chemisorption. ARGs microorganisms, especially pathogens, selectively enriched significantly different from those surrounding waters. promotes propagation through horizontal gene transfer (HGT) vertical (VGT) induces emergence antibiotic-resistant resulting increased threats ecosystems human health. Some future needs strategies this also proposed better understand induced by
