Environmental exposure to active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can have negative effects on the health of ecosystems and humans. While numerous studies monitored APIs in rivers, these employ different analytical methods, measure APIs, ignored many countries world. This makes it difficult quantify scale problem from a global perspective. Furthermore, comparison existing data, generated for studies/regions/continents, is challenging due vast differences between methodologies employed....
Medicines play an important role in the treatment and prevention of disease. Whereas side effects on human animal health resulting directly from have been widely documented, only recently occurrence fate medicines environment potential consequences for recognized as issue warranting consideration. shown to be released soils persist environment. This study was performed investigate a range veterinary taken up soil by plants used consumption assess significance this exposure route terms...
Pharmaceuticals have been detected in the soil environment where there is potential for uptake into crops. This study explored fate and of pharmaceuticals (carbamazepine, diclofenac, fluoxetine, propranolol, sulfamethazine) a personal care product (triclosan) soil-plant systems using radish (Raphanus sativus) ryegrass (Lolium perenne). Five six chemicals were plant tissue. Carbamazepine was taken up to greatest extent both (52 μg/g) (33 μg/g), whereas sulfamethazine below limit quantitation...
The chemical pollution crisis severely threatens human and environmental health globally. To tackle this challenge the establishment of an overarching international science-policy body has recently been suggested. We strongly support initiative based on awareness that humanity already likely left safe operating space within planetary boundaries for novel entities including pollution. Immediate action is essential needs to be informed by sound scientific knowledge data compiled critically...
Abstract The environment may be exposed to veterinary medicines administered livestock through the application of organic fertilizers land. For other groups substances that are applied agricultural land (e.g., pesticides), preferential flow in under-drained clay soils has been identified as an extremely important mechanism by which pollution surface waters can occur. This study, therefore, was performed investigate fate three antibiotics from sulfonamide, tetracycline, and macrolide groups....
Once released to the environment, pesticides may be degraded by abiotic and biotic processes. While parent compounds are assessed in detail many regulatory schemes, requirements for assessment of transformation products less well developed. This study was therefore performed explore relationships between toxicity their develop a pragmatic approach use risk products. Data were obtained on properties ecotoxicity arising from wide range pesticides. Generally, toxic fish, daphnids, algae than...
ABSTRACT The prevalences of three sulfonamide resistance genes, sul1 , sul2 and sul3 sulfachloropyridazine (SCP) were determined in bacteria isolated from manured agricultural clay soils slurry samples the United Kingdom over a 2-year period. Slurry tylosin-fed pigs amended with SCP oxytetracycline was used for manuring. Isolates positive sul genes further screened presence class 1 2 integrons. Phenotypic to significantly higher isolates pig postapplication soil than those preapplication...
