THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 895:165080. [PMID: 37356773 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.165080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/27/2023]
Abstract
Biosolids and sewage effluent application to agricultural fields is becoming a win-win practice as both an economical waste management strategy and a source of nutrients and organic matter for plant growth. However, these organic wastes contain a variety of trace chemicals of environmental concern such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), which may pose a risk to agricultural fields and ecosystems. This work aims to investigate the sorption of sitagliptin on four agricultural soils, evaluate the effects of biosolids and sewage effluent application, and elucidate the main sorption mechanism of the pharmaceutical on soils. The sorption study revealed that the sorption capacities of sitagliptin on different soils were positively related to the contents of soil organic matter and negatively associated with soil pH values. The application of biosolids and sewage effluent decreased the sorption capacity of sitagliptin, which may be attributed to the loading of dissolved organic matter derived from organic wastes. The Freundlich isotherm model demonstrated that the addition of biosolids from 0 to 100 % (W/W) consistently decreased the sorption affinity (Kf) of sitagliptin from 1.69 × 102 to 3.82 × 101 mg(1-n) Ln kg-1. Sewage application at 0, 10, 50, and 100 % (V/V) also reduced the Kf values from 1.69 × 102 to 9.17 × 101 mg(1-n) Ln kg-1. Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR)-Infrared (IR) spectroscopy analyses suggested that electrostatic interactions between carbonyl and amino groups of sitagliptin and the negatively charged soil surface are the main sorption mechanisms. In a co-solute system, the sorption affinity of sitagliptin on the soil decreased with increasing metformin concentrations, suggesting that competitive sorption may reduce the sorption capacity of individual contaminants in soil systems containing multiple PPCPs.

Thiele-Bruhn S, Zhang W. Influence of Manure as a Complex Mixture on Soil Sorption of Pharmaceuticals-Studies with Selected Chemical Components of Manure. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:6154. [PMID: 37372741 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20126154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) enter soil with organic waste materials such as manure. Such complex substrates differently affect PhACs' soil sorption. For the first time, batch experiments were conducted using five selected chemicals as model constituents to elucidate the effects. Urea, phosphate (KH2PO4), acetic acid, phenol and nonadecanoic acid (C:19) altered the sorption strength and/or nonlinearity of sulfadiazine, caffeine, and atenolol in an arable Cambisol topsoil. The nonlinear Freundlich model best described sorption. Overall, the PhACs' Freundlich coefficients (sorption strength) increased in the sequence urea < phosphate < phenol < C:19 < acetic acid, while the Freundlich exponents largely decreased, indicating increasing sorption specificity. The effects on sulfadiazine and caffeine were rather similar, but in many cases different from atenolol. Phosphate mobilized sulfadiazine and caffeine and urea mobilized sulfadiazine, which was explained by sorption competition resulting from specific preference of similar sorption sites. Soil sorbed phenol strongly increased the sorption of all three PhACs; phenolic functional groups are preferred sorption sites of PhACs in soil. The large increase in sorption of all PhACs by acetic acid was attributed to a loosening of the soil organic matter and thus the creation of additional sorption sites. The effect of C:19 fatty acid, however, was inconsistent. These results help to better understand the sorption of PhACs in soil-manure mixtures.

[PMID: 37167736 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
2,2'-Dibromobisphenol A (2,2'-DiBBPA) is frequently detected in the environment. However, the mobility of 2,2'-DiBBPA in the soil environment is poorly understood. The present study examined the effects of soil components such as the NaClO-resistant fraction, dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate -demineralized fraction, humin fraction, black carbon, DOC-removed fraction, exogenous dissolved organic carbon and heavy metal cations on the adsorption of 2,2'-DiBBPA on several types of agricultural soils. The adsorption isotherms on soils and soil components were well fitted to the linear isotherm equation. 2,2'-DiBBPA sorption onto soils was dominated by soil organic matter content (SOM) and affected by exogenous dissolved organic carbon. Linear regression relationships between adsorption capacity (Kd) and soil characteristics were evaluated to predict partitioning of 2,2'-DiBBPA. Black carbon played a predominant role in the adsorption of 2,2'-DiBBPA. Heavy metal ions significantly inhibited the adsorptive behavior of 2,2'-DiBBPA under alkaline conditions. Semiempirical linear relationships were observed between biota-sediment accumulation factors (1.18-2.47)/logarithm of bioconcentration factors (BCFs, 2.49-2.52) of 2,2'-DiBBPA in lugworms and Kd. These results allow for the prediction of the bioaccumulation of 2,2'-DiBBPA in other soils. Furthermore, values of log BCF > 1.0 indicate the preferential bioaccumulation of 2,2'-DiBBPA in biota. These data are of significance for understanding the migration of 2,2'-DiBBPA in agricultural soils and bioaccumulation in organisms.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:16771. [PMID: 36554653 PMCID: PMC9778684 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph192416771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Sulfonamides (SAs) and tetracyclines (TCs) are two classes of widely used antibiotics. There is a lack of easy models for estimating the parameters of antibiotic sorption in soils. In this work, a dataset of affinity coefficients (Kf and Kd) of seven SA/TC antibiotics (i.e., sulfachlorpyridazine, sulfamethazine, sulfadiazine, sulfamethoxazole, oxytetracycline, tetracycline, and chlortetracycline) and associated soil properties was generated. Correlation analysis of these data showed that the affinity coefficients of the SAs were predominantly affected by soil organic matter and cation exchange capacity, while those of the TCs were largely affected by soil organic matter and pH. Pedotransfer functions for estimating Kf and Kd were built by multiple linear regression analysis and were satisfactorily validated. Their performances would be better for soils having higher organic matter content and lower pH. These pedotransfer functions can be used to aid environmental risk assessment, prioritization of antibiotics and identification of vulnerable soils.

Transport of Veterinary Antibiotics in Farmland Soil: Effects of Dissolved Organic Matter. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19031702. [PMID: 35162725 PMCID: PMC8834935 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19031702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2021] [Revised: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
The application of manure as a fertiliser to farmland is regarded as a major source of veterinary antibiotic (VA) contamination in the environment. The frequent detection of such emerging contaminants and their potential adverse impacts on the ecosystem and human health have provoked increasing concern for VA transport and fate. Extrinsic dissolved organic matter (DOM) may be introduced into farmland soil along with Vas, and thus exert significant effects on the transport of VAs via hydrological processes upon rainfall. The leaching of VAs can be either enhanced or reduced by DOM, depending on the nature, mobility, and interactions of VAs with DOM of different origins. From the aspect of the diversity and reactivity of DOM, the state-of-the-art knowledge of DOM−VA interactions and their resulting effects on the sorption−desorption and leaching of VAs in farmland soil was reviewed. Spectroscopic techniques for examining the extent of binding and reactive components of DOM with VAs are summarized and their usefulness is highlighted. Models for simulating VA transport under the effects of DOM were also reviewed. It is suggested that distinct impacts of DOM of various organic fertiliser/amendment origins should be considered for predicting the transport of VAs in farmland soil.
