• Occurrence, fate, and ecotoxicity of antibiotics in agro-ecosystems. A review (2011, neutral): “…al. 2011), large-scale use of antibiotics in animal production is being widely adopted worldwide as drugs, particularly in the European Union, USA (Kolpin et al. 2002), China (Zhao et al. 2010), Southeast Asia, and Russia as feed additives or for prophylactic, metaphylactic, and therapeutic…”
• Emerging contaminants in surface waters and their relevance for the production of drinking water in Europe (2010, background): “They are excreted by humans and livestock and discharged in the environment with effluents of sewage treatment plants (Kolpin et al. 2002; Legler et al. 2002; Snyder et al. 2003) or with agricultural run off (Lange et al. 2002; Johnson et al. 2006; Matthiessen et al. 2006).”
• Efficiency of conventional drinking-water-treatment processes in removal of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. (2007, result): “2), is consistent with previous reports of the frequent occurrence of OCs in streams that receive effluent from STPs (Glassmeyer et al., 2005; Kolpin et al., 2002).”
• Effect of river landscape on the sediment concentrations of antibiotics and corresponding antibiotic resistance genes (ARG). (2006, background): “A recent study conducted by the United States Geological Survey in 1999 and 2000 indicated that, out of a network of 139 streams across 30 states, 95 contained antibiotics (Kolpin et al., 2002).”
