Abstract
Multiple antibiotics that are used in veterinary medicine coexist in soils, but their interaction and the effects on adsorption and desorption in soils have not been extensively studied. In this study, using batch experiments, we evaluated the adsorption and desorption of sulfadiazine (SDZ), tetracycline (TC), and norfloxacin (NFX) using four different soil aggregate size fractions and discovered that: (1) TC had the highest adsorption (76-98 %) and the lowest desorption in each tested system, whereas SDZ showed opposite adsorption and desorption ability, (2) the highest adsorption and the lowest desorption of all three tested antibiotics were observed with soil macroaggregates (250-2000 µm) in all the cases; in contrast, opposite adsorption and desorption ability were observed for soil clay (<53 µm), and (3) adsorption of each antibiotic was in the following order: single system (71-89 %) > binary system (56-84 %) > ternary system (50-78 %); however, desorption were in the reverse order. The Freundlich equation fitting and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis further demonstrated that the adsorption competition between the tested antibiotics depended mainly on the specific surface area of each soil aggregate size fractions and its chemical properties. In conclusion, soil macroaggregates play a key role in the retention of antibiotics in soils, and the coexistence of multiple antibiotics greatly increases leaching risk.

Hu J, Tang X, Qi M, Cheng J. New Models for Estimating the Sorption of Sulfonamide and Tetracycline Antibiotics in Soils. 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.

Abstract
Introduction The large-scale development of animal husbandry and industrialization lead to more and more serious co-contamination from heavy metals and antibiotics in soils. Ecotoxic effects of residues from antibiotics and heavy metals are of increasing concern. Materials and Methods In this study, oxytetracycline (OTC) and cadmium (Cd) were selected as target pollutants to evaluate the individual and combined effects on nitrification process using four different soil types sampled from North to South China through a 56-day incubation experiment. Results and Discussion The results demonstrated that the contaminations of OTC and Cd, especially combined pollution had significant inhibitory effects on net nitrification rates (NNRs) as well as on AOA and AOB abundance. The toxic effects of contaminants were greatly enhanced with increasing OTC concentration. AOB was more sensitive than AOA to exogenous contaminants. And the interaction effects of OTC and Cd on ammonia oxidizers were mainly antagonistic. Furthermore, Cd contaminant (with or without OTC) had indirect effects on nitrification activity via inhibiting mineral N and AOA/AOB, while OTC alone indirectly inhibited nitrification activity by inhibiting ammonia oxidizers. The results could provide theoretical foundation for exploring the eco-environmental risks of antibiotics and heavy metals, as well as their toxic effects on nitrification processes.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph182413383.

Abstract
Paddy soils are globally distributed and saturated with water long term, which is different from most terrestrial ecosystems. To better understand the environmental risks of antibiotics in paddy soils, this study chose sulfadiazine (SDZ) as a typical antibiotic. We investigated its adsorption behavior and the influence of soil solution properties, such as pH conditions, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), ionic concentrations (IC), and the co-existence of Cu2+. The results indicated that (1) changes in soil solution pH and IC lower the adsorption of SDZ in paddy soils. (2) Increase of DOC facilitated the adsorption of SDZ in paddy soils. (3) Cu2+ co-existence increased the adsorption of SDZ on organic components, but decreased the adsorption capacity of clay soil for SDZ. (4) Further FTIR and SEM analyses indicated that complexation may not be the only form of Cu2+ and SDZ co-adsorption in paddy soils. Based on the above results, it can be concluded that soil solution properties and co-existent cations determine the sorption behavior of SDZ in paddy soils.

Sorption of sulfadiazine and flow modeling in an alluvial deposit of a dry riverbed in the Brazilian semiarid. JOURNAL OF CONTAMINANT HYDROLOGY 2021; 241:103818. [PMID: 34118690 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconhyd.2021.103818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2019] [Revised: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 04/30/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The Brazilian semiarid region is subjected to irregular rainfall, prolonged droughts, and high temperatures, hampering the surface water accumulation. The water access is restricted to the alluvium in the valleys, which are used for cattle and poultry livestock development. These activities trigger the excessive use of veterinary antibiotics. As a consequence, antibiotics reach sediment surfaces and promote deterioration of groundwater quality. This work aims to evaluate the sorption potential of Sulfadiazine (SDZ) and to understand the dynamics of water transfer and solute transport processes in a typical alluvial deposit of the Capibaribe River, in the Agreste of Pernambuco. The sedimentological characterization was performed by Miall's Code, defining four lithofacies (Scm, Scm,b, Gcm,o, Scm,o). Kinetics and isotherms experiments allowed the analyses of SDZ sorption. Kinetics sorption showed an equilibrium tendency after 40 h and was better described by a second-order model, while isotherm sorption data were better fitted by the Freundlich model. According to the particle size distribution curve, Scm had the highest number of fine particles and organic matter, affecting interaction of SDZ in sediments. Consequently, SDZ sorption was slightly higher in this lithofacies. However, overall, SDZ sorption was low, thereby offering a real risk of groundwater contamination. For further investigation the dynamics of water transfer and solute transport in a heterogeneous alluvial deposit were simulated with the HYDRUS-2D. The structural heterogeneity influenced the spatial distribution of water storage under unsaturated conditions and provided the emergence of preferential flows. The solute dynamic follow a similar behavior of the water flow, due to the low retention of SDZ in the soil. Considering a condition near to saturation, the contrast of hydraulic and transport properties influences simultaneously in the processes of water transfer and solute transport.

Abstract
Magnetite-coating biochar (MBC) is a promising remediator for antibiotic contamination. Accurate models describing the sorption affinity are required to better understand the role of minerals. In this study, the presence of magnetite led to the improvements of oxygen-containing groups (i.e. C˭O) and regulation of π-systems within BC. Based on Dubinin-Ashtakhov (DA) model, the differences of site energy (Em) and sorption heterogeneity (σe*) led to the variances between sorption capacities of sulfonamides (SAs). The positive correlations between Em and the oxygen content or pore volume of MBCs indicated that π-π interactions, H-bonding, and pore-filling may act as the high energy sites. Moreover, σe* was related to the distribution of magnetite on BC and their porosities. These results suggested that compared to BCs, the coating minerals improved the π-interaction assisted H-bonding and proton configuration of antibiotic when sorbing on MBC. The negative correlations between the Em of different SAs with their molecular sizes and solubilities resulted from steric effects and competition with water, which further confirmed the proposed high energy sites on MBCs. This study provided the insightful information of site energy distribution and understanding of fate and transport of organic pollutants on BC when the iron minerals were embedded or coated.

Abstract
Sulfadiazine (SDZ) is an antibiotic frequently detected in soil and groundwater. The transport of SDZ in subsurface environment is a critical process affecting its retention in soil. To date, the effects of iron oxide and metal cation on the transport of SDZ remain largely unknown, so we investigated the transport properties of SDZ in cleaned and iron oxides coated quartz sand, as affected by the presence of conventional cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, and Na+) and Cd2+ through column experiments and simulation. We found that iron oxide coating on sand surface inhibited the transport of SDZ, mainly due to hydrophobic effect, complexation, and electrostatic attraction. The inhibitory effect became more marked with increasing concentration of Cd2+. It favors the transport of Cd2+ due to the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged iron oxide and Cd2+. Ca2+ promoted the transport of SDZ in coated sand, while all the conventional cations had no effect on the transport of SDZ in cleaned sand. The increase in the concentration of Cd2+ favors the transport of SDZ in cleaned sand. However, in iron oxide coated sand, the influence of Cd2+ on the transport of SDZ was dependent on the concentration of Cd2+. At lower concentration of Cd2+ and by competition, the transport is favored. At high concentration, the transport is inhibited mainly due to the formation of ternary surface complexes. A convective-dispersive transport model was applied to simulate and interpret experimental data. Breakthrough curves fitted well with a one-site model (OSM), indicating that SDZ adsorption on the sand experiences reversible kinetic. A low level of KF values with nearly linear sorption isotherm shows high mobility of SDZ and a high potential risk of surface and groundwater contamination. However, such high mobility can be reduced by increasing the content of iron oxides in porous media.

Abstract
The sorption of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) on soil and soil components makes an important contribution to the fate, migration and bioavailability of PPCPs. Previous reviews have mostly focused on the sorption of PPCPs on single soil components (e.g., minerals and soil organic matter). However, the sorption of PPCPs within the whole soil system has not been systematically analyzed. This paper reviews the recent progress on PPCP sorption on soil and soil components. We have evaluated the sorption of a wide range of PPCPs in research fields that are usually considered in isolation (e.g., humic acids (HAs), montmorillonite, kaolinite, and goethite), and established a bridge between PPCPs and sorbent. The sorption mechanisms of PPCPs, e.g., cation exchange, surface complexation, electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding, are discussed and critically evaluated. We also assessed the influence of environmental factors (pH, ionic strength, organic matter and temperature) on sorption. This review summarizes the knowledge of PPCPs sorption on soil gained in recent years, which can provide new strategies for solving the problem of antibiotic pollution.

Abstract
Combined antibiotic and heavy metal pollution has generated considerable concern. Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been shown to efficiently remove pollutants; however, the microbial community responses to combined pollutants remain enigmatic. In this study, seven microcosm CWs were planted with Myriophyllum aquaticum, spiked with tetracyclines (TCs) (300-30,000 μg/L), alone or with Cu(II), to investigate the response of plant-associated microbial communities. TCs and the Cu/TC ratio greatly affected the performance of CWs. Tetracyclines led to higher microbial diversity, evenness and richness, while UniFrac distances and principal coordinate (PCO) and redundancy analyses revealed that the co-presence of TCs and Cu(II) led to variations in bacterial communities. Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria and Bacteroidetes were the dominant microbial phyla and Cloacibacterium, Hydrogenophaga, Rheinheimera and Denitratisoma accounted for 6.2-21.0% of all genera. Therefore, the co-occurrence of heavy metals should be considered when judging the removal potential of TCs in phytoremediation.

Abstract
Veterinary antibiotics reaching the environment have become a matter of global concern, since they can cause serious negative impacts on human and ecological health. Therefore, a deep understanding of their behavior and fate once they reach the soil environment is of utmost importance to design and implement appropriate measures that could reduce their potential risks. With this aim, batch-type experiments were carried out to study competitive adsorption and desorption for three sulfonamide antibiotics (sulfadiazine -SDZ-, sulfamethazine -SMT-, and sulfachloropyridazine -SCP-) in six crop soils presenting different characteristics. The results obtained showed that sulfonamides have a low retention in soils, with average adsorption percentages of 40% for SDZ, 44% for SMT and 54% for SCP, and with desorption percentages up to 36% for SDZ and SCP and up to 29% for SMT. The retention of sulfonamides was strongly influenced by the soil organic carbon content (SOC), with higher adsorption and less desorption associated to higher SOC contents. In addition, the hydrophobicity of sulfonamides also had an influence, as higher hydrophobicity resulted in higher affinity for soils, showing the affinity sequences: SDZ ~ SMT <SCP in acid soils, and SDZ ~ SCP <SMT in neutral soils. The results obtained in the ternary systems were very similar to those found in simple systems, indicating the absence of substantial competition for adsorption sites among the three sulfonamides. Despite the low competition among them, these antibiotics have high mobility in soils and, therefore, they imply a significant risk of contamination of water bodies, as well as of entering the food chain, generating serious hazards for human and environmental health. Therefore, fertilization of soils with sulfonamide polluted manures should be controlled, implementing new measurements for the pretreatment of manures before their application, thus contributing to a reduction of potential risks.

Abstract
Veterinary antibiotics are widely used worldwide to treat and prevent infectious diseases, as well as (in countries where allowed) to promote growth and improve feeding efficiency of food-producing animals in livestock activities. Among the different antibiotic classes, tetracyclines and sulfonamides are two of the most used for veterinary proposals. Due to the fact that these compounds are poorly absorbed in the gut of animals, a significant proportion (up to ~90%) of them are excreted unchanged, thus reaching the environment mainly through the application of manures and slurries as fertilizers in agricultural fields. Once in the soil, antibiotics are subjected to a series of physicochemical and biological processes, which depend both on the antibiotic nature and soil characteristics. Adsorption/desorption to soil particles and degradation are the main processes that will affect the persistence, bioavailability, and environmental fate of these pollutants, thus determining their potential impacts and risks on human and ecological health. Taking all this into account, a literature review was conducted in order to shed light on the current knowledge about the occurrence of tetracycline and sulfonamide antibiotics in manures/slurries and agricultural soils, as well as on their fate in the environment. For that, the adsorption/desorption and the degradation (both abiotic and biotic) processes of these pollutants in soils were deeply discussed. Finally, the potential risks of deleterious effects on human and ecological health associated with the presence of these antibiotic residues were assessed. This review contributes to a deeper understanding of the lifecycle of tetracycline and sulfonamide antibiotics in the environment, thus facilitating decision-making for the application of preventive and mitigation measures to reduce its negative impacts and risks to public health.

Abstract
Batch-type experiments were used to study adsorption-desorption of sulfadiazine in 50 crop soils exposed to antibiotic pollution due to the spreading of animal manure or slurry. Adsorption and desorption curves were linear, and were satisfactorily described using the linear and Freundlich equations. The Freundlich adsorption constant (KF(ad)) showed low values (between 0.4 and 9.0 L1/n μmol1-1/n kg-1), which were similar to those of the adsorption constant for the linear model (Kd(ad), between 0.3 and 12.0 L kg-1). Furthermore, the desorption constant for the linear model (Kd(des)) showed higher values than those of Kd(ad), ranging between 1.6 and 29.3 L kg-1, while the values of the Freundlich desorption constant (KF(des)) ranged from 0.10 to 36.8 L1/n μmol1-1/n kg-1. The percentages of adsorption were very variable, ranging from 10 to 87%. The soil characteristics that most influenced adsorption-desorption were those related to soil organic matter (organic carbon and nitrogen contents), as well as the effective cation exchange capacity, and pH. In addition, statistically robust pedotransfer functions were obtained, allowing prediction of adsorption-desorption behavior for sulfadiazine from readily determinable soil parameters, such as pH or organic carbon content.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are widely used in human and veterinary medicaments, and as such are ubiquitous environmental contaminants. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is widely distributed in natural water and sediment and dissolved humic acid (DHA) is a major component of DOM. The coexistence of DHA might influence the sorption, migration and transformation of FQs, thus determining their environmental fate. In this study, the interaction of DHA and ofloxacin (OFL)/flumequine (FLU) was evaluated using dialysis-bag assays. The sorption of OFL and FLU to kaolinite in the presence of DHA under different pH conditions was investigated. The results revealed that the binding affinities of FQs to DHA were weakened with increasing pH from 4.0 to 10.0 due to the increased negative charge of DHA and subsequent electrostatic repulsion. Sorption experiments indicated that co-precipitation was an important mechanism for OFL/FLU removal from the aqueous phase under acidic conditions. At pH 7.0, the affinity of OFL-DHA/FLU-DHA to kaolinite was weaker than that of OFL/FLU thus suppressed its sorption. At pH 9.5, the affinity of OFL-DHA to kaolinite was stronger than that of OFL and consequently promoted its sorption, but there was no observed effect of DHA on FLU sorption. During desorption, DHA could bind to OFL/FLU and promote its desorption from kaolinite at neutral pH. In binary solute systems of OFL and FLU, OFL was a more effective competitor for the sorption sites of kaolinite than FLU.

Abstract
Retention and transport of sulfonamides (SAs) in subsurface can strongly affect groundwater quality. In this work, a range of laboratory batch sorption and column transport experiments were conducted to determine the effect of cation type in mixed Ca-Na systems on the retention and transport of two typical SAs, sulfadimethoxine (SDM) and sulfacetamide (SCA), in saturated limestone porous media. Column experimental data showed divalent cation Ca2+ played a more important role than monovalent cation Na+ in decreasing the transport of only SDM in co-cation systems in the saturated limestone media. Further, in the single-cation (i.e., including either Ca2+ or Na+) system, increasing ionic strength (IS) of either NaCl or CaCl2 had little effect on SCA transport; however, increasing of IS of CaCl2 promoted the retention of SDM in the saturated limestone porous media. This is mainly due to the cation bridging effect of Ca2+ on SDM and limestone. Overall, SDM showed much higher retention in the limestone columns than SCA, which can be attributed to the two SAs' different physicochemical properties. Moreover, limestone showed stronger ability to retain the two SAs than quartz sand. Findings in this study suggest that cation type and the concentration of certain electrolyte (e.g., CaCl2) as well as medium type play an important role in controlling the environmental fate and transport of antibiotics.

Abstract
Agricultural soil was treated with biochar (5% w/w) produced from two pyrolysis temperatures (400 and 700 °C) of giant Miscanthus (GMC-400 and GMC-700, respectively), and the subsequent sorption of sulfathiazole (STZ) was evaluated as a function of pH (2, 5, and 7) and aging period (0, 3, and 6 months). Because sorption was nonlinear, with 0.51 < N < 0.75, the linearized sorption coefficient (K d*) was used for the comparison across samples. The K d* of GMC-400 treatment (3.96-9.96 L kg-1) was higher than that of GMC-700 treatment (1.27-3.38 L kg-1). In laps of aging period over 6 months, the sorption of GMC-400-treated soil had gradually increased to be 3.3 times higher than that of untreated soil, whereas there was no statistical difference for GMC-700 treatment. Results of FTIR and SEM analyses revealed that the number of O-containing functional groups in the GMC-400 treatment increases and the micropores of GMC-700 are deformed over time. Sorption was also pH-dependent in the order of pH 2 > pH 5 > pH 7. The sorption hysteresis (H) index for the GMC-400 treatment was higher at pH 7 (3.99) than at pH 5(2.53), and both values had increased after 6 months (4.18 and 3.17, respectively). The results of this study clearly demonstrate that the sorption of STZ on GMC-treated soils is greatly enhanced, mainly through the greater micropore surfaces, the abundance of hydrophilic functional groups over time, and π+-π electron donor-acceptor interaction at low pH.

Abstract
A pot experiment was carried out to investigate the single and combined effect of different concentrations of sulfadiazine (SDZ) (1 and 10mgkg-1) and copper (Cu) (20 and 200mgkg-1) stresses on growth, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA), antioxidant enzyme activities of wheat seedlings and their accumulation. High SDZ or Cu level significantly inhibited the growth of wheat seedlings, but the emergence rate was only inhibited by high SDZ level. The presence of Cu reduced the accumulation of SDZ, whereas the effect of SDZ on the accumulation of Cu depended on their concentrations. Low Cu level significantly increased the chlorophyll content, while high Cu level or both SDZ concentrations resulted in a significant decrease in the chlorophyll content as compared to the control. Additionally, H2O2 and MDA contents increased with the elevated SDZ or Cu level. The activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase were also stimulated by SDZ or Cu except for the aerial part treated by low Cu level and root treated by high SDZ level. The joint toxicity data showed that the toxicity of SDZ to wheat seedlings was generally alleviated by the presence of Cu, whereas the combined toxicity of SDZ and Cu was larger than equivalent Cu alone.

Abstract
Elevated concentrations of heavy metals and antibiotics often coexist in agricultural soils due to land application of large amounts of animal manure. The experiment was conducted to investigate the single and joint effects of different concentrations of sulfadiazine (SDZ) (10mgkg-1 and 100mgkg-1) and copper (Cu) (20mgkg-1 and 200mgkg-1) on soil microbial activity, i.e. fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolysis, dehydrogenase (DHA) and basal respiration (BR), microbial biomass and community structure estimated using phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA), and community level physiological profiles (CLPP) using MicroResp™. High concentration of SDZ or Cu significantly reduced microbial activity during the whole incubation period, while the inhibiting effect of low concentration of SDZ or Cu was only visible within 14 days of incubation. The total PLFA concentration was reduced by SDZ and/or Cu, which resulted from reduced bacterial and actinomycetic biomass. The addition of SDZ and/or Cu decreased the bacteria:fungi ratio, whereas only the addition of high Cu concentration significantly decreased Gram+:Gram- ratio. The addition of Cu obviously inhibited the dissipation of SDZ, which could affect the combined effects of both on microbial activity, biomass and community structure. Principal component analysis of the CLPP and PLFA data clearly revealed the notable effects of SDZ and/or Cu on soil microbial community structure.
