Urban wastewater treatment plants as hotspots for the release of antibiotics in the environment: a review. (2013, background): “In general, MBR systems have been reported to be equal to or slightly more effective in removing some antibiotics compared to CAS treatment systems (Le-Minh et al., 2010); MBR is more expensive, but provides a more hygienic effluent due to the filtration.”
Integrons: Past, Present, and Future (2014, background): “Like resistance genes, antibiotics are difficult to remove during water treatment, and some have long half-lives in the environment (219, 220), resulting in pollution of both rivers and the ocean (221, 222).”
Adsorption performance of magnesium/aluminum layered double hydroxide nanoparticles for metronidazole from aqueous solution (2017, background): “Moreover, the presence of antibiotics in raw wastewater treatment plants may produce unwanted by-products during chlorination or ozonation of wastewater, which may be toxic and carcinogenic to humans (Zhou et al., 2013; Le-Minh et al., 2010).”
Removal of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in various wastewater treatment processes: An overview (2020, background): “However, the traditional biological treatment processes applied in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are inefficient to remove antibiotics from wastewater, leading to the release of antibiotics into the environments (Feng et al., 2020; Le-Minh et al., 2010).”
Occurrence of pharmaceutical compounds in urban wastewater: removal, mass load and environmental risk after a secondary treatment--a review. (2012, background): “…and physical properties, namely solubility, volatility, adsorbability, absorbability, biodegradability, polarity and stability, vary greatly (Le Minh et al., 2010; Ziylan and Ince, 2011), with obvious repercussions on their behaviour during the treatments and consequently their removal…”
Effective removal of Amoxicillin, Cephalexin, Tetracycline and Penicillin G from aqueous solutions using activated carbon nanoparticles prepared from vine wood (2014, background): “The occurrence of antibiotic compounds in the aquatic environment is considered to be an emerging issue, which derives mainly from the pharmaceuticals industry as well as from veterinary and human medication uses [1,2].”
Using the class 1 integron-integrase gene as a proxy for anthropogenic pollution (2014, background): “Antibiotics are only partly removed by wastewater treatment (Giger et al., 2003; Watkinson et al., 2007) and, depending on the antibiotic, can still be found at levels between 10 and 1000 ng l 1 in secondary effluent (Le-Minh et al., 2010).”
