Wastewater treatment plants are among the main hotspots for release of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) into environment. ARGs in treated wastewater can be found intracellular DNA (iDNA) and extracellular (eDNA). In this study, we investigated fate distribution (either eDNA or iDNA) wastewaters pre post-disinfection by shotgun metagenomics. The richness resistome was to higher than one. However, latter included different high risk ARGs. About 11% recovered metagenome assembled genomes...
The contamination of water resource and food chain by persistent organic pollutants (POPs) constitutes a major environmental human health concern worldwide. aim this study was to investigate the levels POPs in irrigation water, soil Amaranthus viridis (A. viridis) from different gardening sites Kinshasa evaluate potential risks. A survey for use pesticides fertilizers carried out with 740 market gardeners. (including organochlorine (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated...
Water resource contamination is still a major concern in several regions of developing countries especially sub-Saharan which polluted waters pose serious risks to human health and the environment. The seasonal variation physicochemical parameters including pH, temperature (T), electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (O2), organic carbon (DOC), total (TOC), trace metals were assessed water samples collected from wells (n=3) two rivers River Lukemi (RLK, n=3) Luini (RLN, n=2) located...
