Adsorption/desorption of enrofloxacin in farmland soil as the effect of pH and coexisting ions: implications for enrofloxacin fate and risk in loess soil. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY AND HEALTH 2024; 46:363. [PMID: 39126534 DOI: 10.1007/s10653-024-02143-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics have been extensively used in clinical treatments for human and animal diseases. However, their long-term presence in the environment increases the risk of producing resistance genes and creates a potential threat to ecosystems and the health of humans and animals. Batch equilibrium experiments were utilized to investigate the adsorption and retention behavior and mechanism of the quinolone antibiotic enrofloxacin (ENR) in farmland soil in North China. The adsorption and desorption kinetics of ENR in soil were best fitted by pseudo-second-order model (R2 > 0.999). Both the adsorption and desorption processes of ENR in soil reached equilibrium in 1 h. The desorption amounts of ENR were significantly lower than the adsorption amounts, with the hysteresis coefficient (HI) being less than 0.7. The adsorption thermodynamic process of ENR followed the Linear and Freundlich models (0.965 < R2 < 0.985). Hydrophobic distribution and heterogeneous multimolecular layer adsorption were identified as critical factors in the adsorption process. The adsorption amount of ENR gradually decreased with increasing temperature and the initial concentration of ENR. The adsorption rate of ENR was above 80%, while the desorption rate remained below 15%, indicating strong retention ability. The adsorption rate of ENR in soil decreased with increasing pH, the adsorption rate reached 98.3% at pH 3.0 but only 31.5% at pH 11. The influence of coexisting ions on adsorption primarily depended on their properties, such as ion radius, ionic strength, and hydrolysis properties, and the inhibition of adsorption increased with increasing ionic strength. These findings contribute to understanding the fate and risk of veterinary antibiotics in loess soil in North China.

Wastewater reuse and pharmaceutical pollution in agriculture: Uptake, transport, accumulation and metabolism of pharmaceutical pollutants within plants. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 364:143055.

Abstract
The presence of pharmaceutical pollutants in water sources has become a growing concern due to its potential impacts on human health and other organisms. The physicochemical properties of pharmaceuticals based on their intended therapeutical application, which include antibiotics, hormones, analgesics, and antidepressants, is quite diverse. Their presence in wastewater, sewerage water, surface water, ground water and even in drinking water is reported by many researchers throughout the world. Human exposure to these pollutants through drinking water or consumption of aquatic and terrestrial organisms has raised concerns about potential adverse effects, such as endocrine disruption, antibiotic resistance, and developmental abnormalities. Once in the environment, they can persist, undergo transformation, or degrade, leading to a complex mixture of contaminants. Application of treated wastewater, compost, manures or biosolids in agricultural fields introduce pharmaceutical pollutants in the environment. As pharmaceuticals are diverse in nature, significant differences are observed during their uptake and accumulation in plants. While there have been extensive studies on aquatic ecosystems, the effect on agricultural land is more disparate. As of now, there are few reports available on the potential of plant uptake and transportation of pharmaceuticals within and between plant organs. This review summarizes the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in aquatic water bodies at a range of concentrations and their uptake, accumulation, and transport within plant tissues. Research gaps on pharmaceutical pollutants' specific effect on plant growth and future research scopes are highlighted. The factors affecting uptake of pharmaceuticals including hydrophobicity, ionization, physicochemical properties (pKa, logKow, pH, Henry's law constant) are discussed. Finally, metabolism of pharmaceuticals within plant cells through metabolism phase enzymes and plant responses to pharmaceuticals are reviewed.

Impact of land use-induced soil heterogeneity on the adsorption of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, tested on organic matter pools. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 474:134704.

Abstract
The effects on the adsorption of fluoroquinolone antibiotics of long-term soil heterogeneity induced by land-use were investigated. Three different land use areas with their two organic matter (OM) pools were tested for the adsorption of three antibiotics widely detected in the environment (ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin). The soils were separated into two size fractions, > 63 µm fraction and < 63 µm fractions for the fast and slow OM pools, respectively. Any effect of land use on adsorption was only observed in the slow pool in the increasing order: arable land, grassland, and forest. The composition of the soil organic matter (SOM) did influence adsorption in the slow pool, but not in the bulk soilsThis was, because: 1) the ratio of the slow pool was low, as in forest, 2) the ratio of the slow pool was high but its adsorption capacity was low due to its SOM composition, as in arable land and grassland. Soils containing a large slow SOM pool fraction with aliphatic dominance were found to be more likely to adsorb micropollutants. It is our contention that the release of contaminated water, sludge, manure or compost into the environment should only be undertaken after taking this into consideration.

Abstract
Freshwater aquaculture serves as a significant focal point for antibiotic contamination, yet understanding antibiotic distribution across different aquaculture models and stages remains limited. This study evaluated antibiotic pollution in three distinct freshwater aquaculture models: rice-crayfish coculture, fish aquaculture, and crab-crayfish aquaculture, during various aquaculture stages. Of the 33 target antibiotics, 16 antibiotics were detected, with the total concentrations ranging from 111.81 ng/L to 15,949.05 ng/L in water and 10.11 ng/g to 8986.30 ng/g in sediment. Among these antibiotics, erythromycin and lomefloxacin are prohibited for use in Chinese aquaculture. Dominant antibiotics in water included lincomycin, enrofloxacin, and enoxacin, whereas in sediment, oxytetracycline and erythromycin were predominant. Notably, lincomycin emerged as a dominant antibiotic in aquaculture for the first time. The concentrations of these dominant antibiotics were high compared to other aquaculture settings and exhibited elevated ecological risk. Critical periods for antibiotic contamination in water and sediment were found to be incongruent, occurring during the rainy season in July for water and the dry season in October for sediment. Notably, the rice-crayfish coculture model exerts a good effect in reducing antibiotic pollution. Overall, these findings offer valuable evidence for the healthful and sustainable advancement of aquaculture.

Abstract
Given the levels of pollution in the aquatic environment and the development of antimicrobial resistance, it is essential to develop sensors, with sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and cost-effectiveness, for the determination of antibiotics. The present article highlights the fabrication of an ultra-sensitive graphene and copper sensor, Gr/Cu, supported on glassy carbon (GCE/Gr/Cu) for the electroanalysis of levofloxacin through a cost-effective electrodeposition method. The sequential electrodeposition of graphene and Cu was optimised to give GCE/Gr/Cu, with the Cu particles well dispersed on the graphene sheets. The composite exhibited very good conducting properties as evidenced from electrochemical impedance studies. Using cyclic voltammetry, an impressive sensitivity of 19.7 μA μM-1 cm-2 was achieved with a detection limit of 11.86 nM, providing a promising electrocatalytic material for the determination of this antibiotic. Moreover, good selectivity was observed in the presence of various ions typically found in water and other drug molecules, while very good stability exceeding a 21-day period was achieved, and recovery values between 97.7 and 103.8 % were obtained in tap water.

Abstract
The presence of fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics in soils may cause a threat to human health due to overexposure and the generation of antibiotic resistance genes. Understanding their sorption behavior in soils is important to predict subsequent FQ (bio) availability. Here, FQ sorption in pure soil organic (i.e., humic substances) and mineral (i.e., metal oxides; phyllosilicates) components is evaluated through a solid-liquid distribution coefficient (Kd (FQ)) dataset consisting of 243 entries originated from 80 different studies, to elucidate their respective contribution to the overall Kd (FQ) in bulk soils. First, different factors affecting FQ sorption and desorption in each of these soil phases are critically discussed. The strong role of pH in Kd (FQ), due to the simultaneous effect on both FQ speciation and surface charge changes, encouraged the derivation of normalized sorption coefficients for the cationic, zwitterionic and anionic FQ species in humic substances and in different phyllosilicates. Kd (FQ) in metal oxides revealed a key role of metal nature and material specific surface area due to complexation sorption mechanisms at neutral pH. Cumulative distribution functions (CDF) were applied to each dataset to establish a sorption affinity range for each phase and to derive best estimate Kd (FQ) values for those materials where normalized sorption coefficients to FQ species were unavailable. The data analysis conducted in the different soil phases set the basis for a Kd (FQ) prediction model, which combined the respective sorption affinity of each phase for FQ and phase abundance in soil to estimate Kd (FQ) in bulk soils. The model was subsequently validated with sorption data in well characterized soils compiled from the literature.

Abstract
The increasing presence of oxytetracycline (OTC) in agricultural soils has raised global environmental concerns. We investigated the environmental behavior and fate of OTC in two types of tropical agricultural soils, focusing on the impact of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from biogas slurry. Techniques such as three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy (3D-EEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-vis) were used to explore the adsorption mechanisms. Our findings revealed that biogas slurry-derived DOM decreased the OTC adsorption on soils and extended the time to reach adsorption equilibrium. Specifically, the equilibrium adsorption of OTC by the two soils decreased by 19.41 and 15.32 %, respectively. These adsorption processes were effectively modelled by Elovich, intraparticle diffusion, linear, and Freundlich thermodynamic models. Thermodynamic parameters suggested that OTC adsorption onto soils was spontaneous and endothermic, with competitive interactions between biogas slurry-derived DOM and OTC molecules intensifying at higher DOM concentrations. The adsorption mechanisms were governed by both physical and chemical processes. Furthermore, the presence of Ca2+ and Na+ ions significantly inhibited OTC adsorption. These insights advanced our understanding of the fate and risk of OTC in soil environments influenced by DOM, contributing to more informed agricultural and environmental management practices.

Abstract
Groundwater near a sulfuric acid plant in Xingyang, Henan, China was sampled from seven distinct sites to explore the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Results showed that genes aadA, blaCTX-M, tetA, qnrA, and sul1 were detected with 100% frequency followed by aac(6')-Ib (85.71%), ermB (85.71%), and tetX (71.42%). Most abundant ARGs were sul1 in LSA2 (1.15 × 1011 copies/mL), tetA in LSA6 (4.95 × 1010 copies/mL), aadA in LSA2 (4.56 × 109 copies/mL), blaCTX-M in LSA4 (1.19 × 109 copies/mL), and ermB in LSA5 (1.07 × 109 copies/mL). Moreover, in LSA2, intl1 as a marker of class 1 integron emerged as the most abundant gene as part of MGE (2.25 × 1011 copies/mL), trailed by ISCR1 (1.57 × 109 copies/mL). Environmental factors explained 81.34% of ARG variations, with a strong positive correlation between the intl2 and blaCTX-M genes, as well as the ISCR1 gene and qnrA, tetA, intl2, and blaCTX-M. Furthermore, the intI1 gene had a strong positive connection with the aadA, tetA, and sul1 genes. Moreover, the aac(6')-Ib gene was associated with As, Pb, Mg, Ca, and HCO3-. The intl2 gene was also shown to be strongly associated with Cd. Notably, network analysis highlighted blaCTX-M as the most frequently appearing gene across networks of at least five genera. Particularly, Lactobacillus, Plesiomonas, and Ligilactobacillus demonstrated correlations with aadA, qnrA, blaCTX-M, intI2, and ISCR1. Based on 16S rRNA sequencing, the dominant phyla were Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidota, Acidobacteriota, and Actinobacteriota, with dominant genera including Pseudomonas, Ligilactobacillus, Azoarcus, Vogesella, Streptococcus, Plesiomonas, and Ferritrophicum. These findings enhance our understanding of ARG distribution in groundwater, signaling substantial contamination by ARGs and potential risks to public health.

Abstract
Machine learning (ML) as a novel model-based approach has been used in studying aquatic toxicology in the environmental field. Zebrafish, as an ideal model organism in aquatic toxicology research, has been widely used to study the toxic effects of various pollutants. However, toxicity testing on organisms may cause significant harm, consume considerable time and resources, and raise ethical concerns. Therefore, ML is used in related research to reduce animal experiments and assist researchers in conducting toxicological research. Although ML techniques have matured in various fields, research on ML-based aquatic toxicology is still in its infancy due to the lack of comprehensive large-scale toxicity databases for environmental pollutants and model organisms. Therefore, to better understand the recent research progress of ML in studying the development, behavior, nerve, and genotoxicity of zebrafish, this review mainly focuses on using ML modeling to assess and predict the toxic effects of zebrafish exposure to different toxic chemicals. Meanwhile, the opportunities and challenges faced by ML in the field of toxicology were analyzed. Finally, suggestions and perspectives were proposed for the toxicity studies of ML on zebrafish in future applications.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics, one of the leading environmental pollutants, have ecotoxic effects that can accumulate through ecosystems and harm human health. The determination of FQs is still difficult due to the complex matrix, many interfering factors, and low concentration. Hence, a magnetic microporous organic network (MON) composite denoted as Fe3O4@MON-NH2@CM-β-CD with excellent FQ adsorption performance was prepared by β-CD covalent modification of a MON. Based on the existence of π-π packing, hydrophobic interaction, and hydrogen bonding between Fe3O4@MON-NH2@CM-β-CD and FQs, a new magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) method for the enrichment of FQs was developed. Under optimized MSPE conditions, five FQs were detected by HPLC-UV with good linearity (R2 ≥ 0.9989) in the range of 0.02-1 μg mL-1, and detection limits (S/N = 3) in the range of 0.0014-0.0023 μg mL-1. The satisfactory recoveries ranged from 93.1 to 116.2% with RSDs lower than 8.39% when applied to actual environmental water samples. These results revealed that Fe3O4@MON-NH2@CM-β-CD as an adsorbent for MSPE had excellent performance for FQ extraction from real samples, and the MON material types were expanded through the functionalization of MONs, which would have great potential for further application in various analytical methods.

Pauletto M, De Liguoro M. A Review on Fluoroquinolones' Toxicity to Freshwater Organisms and a Risk Assessment. J Xenobiot 2024; 14:717-752. [PMID: 38921651 PMCID: PMC11205205 DOI: 10.3390/jox14020042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) have achieved significant success in both human and veterinary medicine. However, regulatory authorities have recommended limiting their use, firstly because they can have disabling side effects; secondly, because of the need to limit the spread of antibiotic resistance. This review addresses another concerning consequence of the excessive use of FQs: the freshwater environments contamination and the impact on non-target organisms. Here, an overview of the highest concentrations found in Europe, Asia, and the USA is provided, the sensitivity of various taxa is presented through a comparison of the lowest EC50s from about a hundred acute toxicity tests, and primary mechanisms of FQ toxicity are described. A risk assessment is conducted based on the estimation of the Predicted No Effect Concentration (PNEC). This is calculated traditionally and, in a more contemporary manner, by constructing a normalized Species Sensitivity Distribution curve. The lowest individual HC5 (6.52 µg L-1) was obtained for levofloxacin, followed by ciprofloxacin (7.51 µg L-1), sarafloxacin and clinafloxacin (12.23 µg L-1), and ofloxacin (17.12 µg L-1). By comparing the calculated PNEC with detected concentrations, it is evident that the risk cannot be denied: the potential impact of FQs on freshwater ecosystems is a further reason to minimize their use.

Effective degradation of tetracycline in aqueous solution by an electro-Fenton process using chemically modified carbon/α-FeOOH as catalyst.

[PMID: 38887776 PMCID: PMC11180057 DOI: 10.1007/s40201-024-00902-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
This study applied an electro-Fenton process using chemically modified activated carbon derived from rubber seed shells loaded with α-FeOOH (RSCF) as catalyst to remove tetracycline residues from aquatic environment. Catalyst characteristics were evaluated using SEM, EDS, XRD, and XPS, showing successful insertion of iron onto the activated carbon. The effects of the parameters were investigated, and the highest treatment efficiency was achieved at pH of 3, Fe: H2O2 ratio (w/w) of 500:1, catalyst dose of 1 g/L, initial TCH concentration of 100 mg/L, and electric current of 150 mA, with more than 90% of TCH being eliminated within 30 min. Furthermore, even after five cycles of use, the treatment efficiency remains above 90%. The rate constant is calculated to be 0.218 min-1, with high regression coefficients (R 2 = 0.93). The activation energy (Ea) was found to be 32.2 kJ/mol, indicating that the degradation of TCH was a simple reaction with a low activation energy. These findings showed that the RSCF is a highly efficient and cost-effective catalyst for TCH degradation. Moreover, the use of e-Fenton process has the advantage of high efficiency, low cost thanks to the recyclability of the catalyst, and environmental friendliness thanks to less use of H2O2.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics have become a subject of growing concern due to their increasing presence in the environment, particularly in the soil and groundwater. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the attributes, prevalence, ecotoxicity, and remediation approaches associated with FQs in environmental matrices. The paper discusses the physicochemical properties that influence the fate and transport of FQs in soil and groundwater, exploring the factors contributing to their prevalence in these environments. Furthermore, the ecotoxicological implications of FQ contamination in soil and aquatic ecosystems are reviewed, shedding light on the potential risks to environmental and human health. The latter part of the review is dedicated to an extensive analysis of remediation approaches, encompassing both in-situ and ex-situ methods employed to mitigate FQ contamination. The critical evaluation of these remediation strategies provides insights into their efficacy, limitations, and environmental implications. In this investigation, a correlation between FQ antibiotics and climate change is established, underlining its significance in addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study further identifies and delineates multiple research gaps, proposing them as key areas for future investigational directions. Overall, this review aims to consolidate current knowledge on FQs in soil and groundwater, offering a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners engaged in environmental management and public health.

Abstract
This study explores the relationship between poultry farming's antibiotic administration practices and residual antibiotic levels in the litter before its application onto agricultural soils. Twenty-three antibiotics were performed across 19 Argentinean farms representing diverse antibiotic management practices. Analysis revealed up to 20 antibiotics from eight chemical classes in poultry litter samples, with tylosin, enrofloxacin, and salinomycin being the most relevant drugs. Farms with restricted antibiotic use in feed exhibited lower residual concentrations. A self-heating treatment was tested to reduce litter antibiotic levels. Although a 60 % reduction of antibiotics was found after treatment, prevalent compounds persisted at residual levels. Regulatory measures and comprehensive litter treatments pre-application are crucial to mitigate environmental risks. This is the first study that provides insight on the occurrence of >20 drugs in real poultry production scenarios from Latin America and demonstrates how relatively simple treatments can be readily applied to decrease the associated environmental risks.

Abstract
Detection and discrimination of fluoroquinolones (FQs) are crucial for food safety but remain a formidable challenge due to their minor differences in molecular structures and the serious interferences from food matrices. Herein, we propose an afterglow assay for the detection and discrimination of FQs through modulating their room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) properties by a host-guest doping strategy. FQs were doped into the boric acid host, forming boronic anhydride structures and hydrogen bonds, which prompted the RTP and TADF performance of FQs by stabilizing their excited states, preventing triplet exciton quenching, and reducing the energy gap between singlet and triplet states. The FQs can be quantitatively detected through monitoring the afterglow intensity of host-guest systems, as low as 0.25 μg/mL. The differences in the afterglow intensity and emission lifetime allowed accurate discrimination of 11 types of FQs through pattern recognition methods. Aided by the delayed signal detection model of afterglow emission, the background signal and the interferences from food matrices were effectively eliminated, which endow the detection and discrimination of mixed FQs in commercial meat samples, without multiple-step separation processes.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIP) poses a high risk of resistance development in water environments. Therefore, comprehensive effects and recovery strategies of CIP in anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) process were systematically elucidated from consortia and pure strains perspectives. The anammox consortia was not significantly affected by the stress of 10 mg L-1 CIP, while the higher concentration (20 mg L-1) of CIP caused a dramatic reduction in the nitrogen removal performance of anammox system. Simultaneously, the abundances of dominant functional bacteria and corresponding genes also significantly decreased. Such inhibition could not be mitigated by the recovery strategy of adding hydrazine and hydroxylamine. Reducing nitrogen load rate from 5.1 to 1.4 kg N m-3 d-1 promoted the restoration of three reactors. In addition, the robustness and recovery of anammox systems was evaluated using starvation and shock strategies. Simultaneously, antibiotic resistance genes and key metabolic pathways of anammox consortia were upregulated, such as carbohydrate and energy metabolisms. In addition, 11 pure stains were isolated from the anammox system and identified through phylogenetic analysis, 40 % of which showed multidrug resistance, especially Pseudomonas. These findings provide deep insights into the responding mechanism of anammox consortia to CIP stress and promote the application of anammox process for treating wastewater containing antibiotics.

Abstract
A novel enrofloxacin-degrading fungus was isolated from a rhizosphere sediment of the submerged macrophyte Vallisneria spiralis L.. The isolate, designated KC0924g, was identified as a member of the genus Humicola based on morphological characteristics and tandem conserved sequence analysis. The optimal temperature and pH for enrofloxacin degradation by strain KC0924g were 28 °C and 9.0, respectively. Under such condition, 98.2% of enrofloxacin with an initial concentration of 1 mg L-1 was degraded after 72 h of incubation, with nine possible degradation products identified. Four different metabolic pathways were proposed, which were initiated by cleavage of the piperazine moiety, hydroxylation of the aromatic ring, oxidative decarboxylation, or defluorination. In addition to enrofloxacin, strain KC0924g also degraded other fluoroquinolone antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, and ofloxacin), malachite green (an illegal additive in aquaculture), and leucomalachite green. Pretreatment of cells of strain KC0924g with Cu2+ accelerated ENR degradation. Furthermore, it was speculated that a flavin-dependent monooxygenase was involved in ENR degradation, based on the increased transcriptional levels of these two genes after Cu2+ induction. This work enriches strain resources for enrofloxacin remediation and, more importantly, would facilitate studies on the molecular mechanism of ENR degradation with degradation-related transcriptome available.

Abstract
The existence of antibiotics in the environment has recently raised serious concerns about their possible hazards to human health and the water ecosystem. In the current study, an activated carbon-supported nanocomposite, AC-CoFe2O3, was synthesized by a coprecipitation method, characterized, and then applied to adsorb different drugs from water. The synthesized composites were characterized by using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller plots, and scanning electron microscopy. The adsorption of both Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and Amoxicillin (Amoxi) antibiotics on the composite followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.9981 and 0.9974 mg g-1 min-1, respectively). Langmuir isotherm was the best-fit model showing 312.17 and 217.76 mg g-1 adsorption capacities for Ciprofloxacin and Amoxicillin, respectively, at 333 K. The negative Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) specified the spontaneity of the method. The positive change in the enthalpy (ΔH) indicated that the adsorption process was assisted by higher temperatures. The different optimized parameters were pH, contact time, adsorbent weight, concentration, and temperature. The maximum adsorption of Cipro was found to be 98.41% at pH 12, while for Amoxi, it was 89.09% at pH 2 at 333 K. The drugs were then successfully determined from natural water samples at optimized conditions using these nanocomposites.

Abstract
Identification of the transport of sulfonamide antibiotics in soils facilitates a better understanding of the environmental fate and behaviors of these ubiquitous contaminants. In this study, the mobility properties of sulfanilamide (SNM, a typical sulfonamide antibiotic) through saturated soils with different physicochemical characteristics were investigated. The results showed that the physicochemical characteristics controlled SNM mobility. Generally, the mobility of SNM was positively correlated with CEC values and soil organic matter content, which was mainly related to the interactions between the organic matter in soils and SNM molecules via π-π stacking, H-bonding, ligand exchange, and hydrophobic interaction. Furthermore, higher clay mineral content and lower sand content were beneficial for restraining SNM transport in the soils. Unlike Na+, Cu2+ ions could act as bridging agents between the soil grains and SNM molecules, contributing to the relatively weak transport of SNM. Furthermore, the trend of SNM mobility in different soil columns was unaffected by solution pH (5.0-9.0). Meanwhile, for a given soil, the SNM mobility was promoted as the solution pH values increased, which was caused by the enhanced electrostatic repulsion between SNM- species and soil particles as well as the declined hydrophobic interaction between SNM and soil organic matter. The obtained results provide helpful information for the contribution of soil physicochemical characteristics to the transport behaviors of sulfonamide antibiotics in soil-water systems.

Abstract
The global consumption of antibiotics leads to their possible occurrence in the environment. In this context, nature-based solutions (NBS) can be used to sustainably manage and restore natural and modified ecosystems. In this work, we studied the efficiency of the NBS free-water surface wetlands (FWSWs) using Eichhornia crassipes in microcosm for enrofloxacin removal. We also explored the behavior of enrofloxacin in the system, its accumulation and distribution in plant tissues, the detoxification mechanisms, and the possible effects on plant growth. Enrofloxacin was initially taken up by E. crassipes (first 100 h). Notably, it accumulated in the sediment at the end of the experimental time. Removal rates above 94% were obtained in systems with sediment and sediment + E. crassipes. In addition, enrofloxacin was found in leaves, petioles, and roots (8.8-23.6 µg, 11-78.3 µg, and 10.2-70.7 µg, respectively). Furthermore, enrofloxacin, the main degradation product (ciprofloxacin), and other degradation products were quantified in the tissues and chlorosis was observed on days 5 and 9. Finally, the degradation products of enrofloxacin were analyzed, and four possible metabolic pathways of enrofloxacin in E. crassipes were described.

Abstract
Tidal flat areas are important resources for land development and are becoming antibiotic resistance receivers that trigger major health concerns. The spatial distributions of forty-nine antibiotics, nine antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), one mobile gene element (MGE) gene, and nine available metals in the soils and sediments along the coastlines of the Yellow Sea in China were quantified. Hierarchical linear model analysis was used to explore relationships between the antibiotics and ARGs across multiple effects resulting from human activities and environmental factors. Fish farm sediments and farmland soils showed high levels of quinolones (QNs) (maximum 637 ng·g-1), sulfonamides (SAs) (maximum 221 ng·g-1), and corresponding ARGs. Significant positive correlations (P from 5.47 × 10-14 to 0.0487) were observed between the antibiotics (QNs, SAs, and chlortetracycline) and their corresponding ARGs (qnrA, qnrD, aac(6')-Ib-cr, dfrA, sul2, and tetA), indicating the selective pressure from antibiotics in soils and sediments. Nine available metals had positive correlations with at least one ARG, indicating heavy metal pollution could enhance the ARGs. Sheep and poultry husbandry and marine aquaculture contribute the most to the antibiotic resistance in the coastlines. In conclusion, antibiotic pollutions have promoting effects at sub-inhibitory concentrations and more attention should be given to inhibit the enrichment of ARGs during tidal flat reclamation processes. The study also suggests the induction effects from metal pollutions, MGE spread, and the antibiotic pollutions from the usage in livestock and aquaculture.

Abstract
Antibiotics (ABs) have made it possible to treat bacterial infections, which were in the past untreatable and consequently fatal. Regrettably, their use and abuse among humans and livestock led to antibiotic resistance, which has made them ineffective in many cases. The spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and bacteria is not limited to nosocomial environments, but also involves water and soil ecosystems. The environmental presence of ABs and ARGs is a hot topic, and their direct and indirect effects, are still not well known or clarified. A particular concern is the presence of antibiotics in agroecosystems due to the application of agro-zootechnical waste (e.g., manure and biosolids), which can introduce antibiotic residues and ARGs to soils. This review provides an insight of recent findings of AB direct and indirect effects on terrestrial organisms, focusing on plant and invertebrates. Possible changing in viability and organism growth, AB bioaccumulation, and shifts in associated microbiome composition are reported. Oxidative stress responses of plants (such as reactive oxygen species production) to antibiotics are also described.

Abstract
Subalpine meadow soil with high moisture and humus content is a unique soil type in the Zoige Plateau. Oxytetracycline and copper are common soil contaminants which interact to form compound pollution. Oxytetracycline's adsorption on natural subalpine meadow soil and its components (humin and the soil without iron and manganese oxides) was studied in the laboratory with and without the presence of Cu2+. The effects of temperature, pH and Cu2+ concentration were documented in batch experiments, allowing deduction of the main sorption mechanisms. The adsorption process had two phases: one rapid, taking place in the first 6 h, and another slower, reaching equilibrium at around 36 h. The adsorption kinetics were pseudo-second-order, and the adsorption isotherm conformed to the Langmuir model at 25 °C. Higher concentrations oxytetracycline increased the adsorption, but higher temperature did not. The presence of Cu2+ had no effect on the equilibrium time, but the amount and rate adsorbed were much greater with Cu2+ concentration increased (except for the soil without iron and manganese oxides). The amounts adsorbed with/without Cu2+ were in the order the humin from subalpine meadow soil (7621 and 7186 μg/g) > the subalpine meadow soil (7298 and 6925 μg/g) > the soil without iron and manganese oxides (7092 and 6862 μg/g), but the difference among those adsorbents was slight. It indicates that humin is a particularly important adsorbent in the subalpine meadow soil. The amount of oxytetracycline adsorbed was greatest at pH 5-9. In addition, Surface complexation through metal bridging was the most important sorption mechanism. Cu2+ and oxytetracycline formed positively-charged complex that was adsorbed and then formed a ternary complex "adsorbent-Cu(II)-oxytetracycline", in which Cu2+ acted as a bridge. These findings provide a good scientific basis for soil remediation, and for assessing environmental health risks.

Abstract
A novel Zn@MGeo sorbent was easily constructed and can bind with FQs through the synergistic effect of electrostatic interaction and coordination. With the Zn@MGeo as sorbent, a MSPE-UHPLC-MS/MS method was established for simultaneous detection of FQs in complex matrices. The whole extraction process could be completed using 6.0 mg sorbent within 10 min under the optimal conditions. The established quantitative method obtained a wide linear range (0.01-200 μg/kg, R2 > 0.9987), high sensitivity (LODs: 0.005-0.05 μg/kg) and negligible matrix effect. The method was applied for analysis of real samples, with recoveries between 75.6% and 103.7%. In addition, the sorbent could be reused at least 9 times without reducing the adsorption performance. In general, the established method not only proposes a novel sorbent for FQs extraction, but also provides a powerful tool for rapid and sensitive detection of FQs in food matrices with practical application value.

Abstract
The occurrence of antibiotics in agricultural soils has raised concerns due to their potential risks to ecosystems and human health. However, a comprehensive understanding of antibiotic accumulation, distribution, and potential risks to terrestrial ecosystems on a global scale is still limited. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the accumulation of antibiotics and their potential risks to soil microorganisms and plants, and highlighted the driving factors of antibiotic accumulation in agricultural soils based on 134 peer-reviewed studies (between 2000 and 2022). The results indicated that 56 types of antibiotics were detected at least once in agricultural soils with concentrations ranging from undetectable to over 7000 µg/kg. Doxycycline, tylosin, sulfamethoxazole, and enrofloxacin, belonging to the tetracyclines, macrolides, sulfonamides, and fluoroquinolones, respectively, were the most accumulated antibiotics in agricultural soil. The accumulation of TCs, SAs, and FQs was found to pose greater risks to soil microorganisms (average at 29.3%, 15.4%, and 21.8%) and plants (42.4%, 26.0%, and 38.7%) than other antibiotics. East China was identified as a hot spot for antibiotic contamination due to high levels of antibiotic concentration and ecological risk to soil microorganisms and plants. Antibiotic accumulation was found to be higher in vegetable fields (245.5 µg/kg) and orchards (212.4 µg/kg) compared to croplands (137.2 µg/kg). Furthermore, direct land application of manure resulted in a greater accumulation of TCs, SAs, and FQs accumulation in soils than compost fertilization. The level of antibiotics decreased with increasing soil pH and organic matter content, attributed to decreasing adsorption and enhancing degradation of antibiotics. In conclusion, this study highlights the need for further research on the impacts of antibiotics on soil ecological function in agricultural fields and their interaction mechanisms. Additionally, a whole-chain approach, consisting of antibiotic consumption reduction, manure management strategies, and remediation technology for soil contaminated with antibiotics, is needed to eliminate the potential environmental risks of antibiotics for sustainable and green agriculture.

Abstract
Sewage sludge is an important reservoir of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), and the reclamation of sewage sludge potentially threats human health and environmental safety. Sludge treatment and disposal are expected to control these risks, and this review summarizes the fate and controlling efficiency of antibiotics, ARGs, and ARB in sludge involved in different processes, i.e., disintegration, anaerobic digestion, aerobic composting, drying, pyrolysis, constructed wetland, and land application. Additionally, the analysis and characterization methods of antibiotics, ARGs, and ARB in complicate sludge are reviewed, and the quantitative risk assessment approaches involved in land application are comprehensively discussed. This review benefits process optimization of sludge treatment and disposal, with regard to environmental risks control of antibiotics, ARGs, and ARB in sludge. Furthermore, current research limitations and gaps, e.g., the antibiotic resistance risk assessment in sludge-amended soil, are proposed to advance the future studies.

[PMID: 37202637 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-27618-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
In this study, five PAHs (benzo [b] fluoranthene (BbF), phenanthrene (Phe), fluoranthene (Flu), fluorene (Fl), benzo [A] pyrene (Bap)), and five FQs (ofloxacin (OFL), enrofloxacin (ENR), ciprofloxacin (CIP), norfloxacin (NOR), lomefloxacin (LOM)) were selected as ligands; peroxidase (1NML) was selected as receptor degrading protein. In the plant-microbial degradation, the factors with significant inhibitory effects are NOR, Bap, CIP, ENR, OFL, Flu, LOM, Phe, Fl, and BbF by the fractional factorial design experiment and molecular docking-assisted molecular dynamics methods. Using Taguchi experiment and molecular dynamics simulation methods, the main external field measures were designed and screened to effectively promote the degradation of PAHs-FQs under the combined pollution scenarios of Bap-CIP and BbF-NOR, respectively. The peroxidase mutation design plans with enhanced substrate affinity were then designed and screened using the DS software by predicting the virtual key amino acid of peroxidase. The novel biodegradable enzymes 2YCD-1, 2YCD-4, 2YCD-5, 2YCD-7, and 2YCD-9 had better structures and showed excellent degradability for PAHs and FQs. This study explored the degradation rules of the composite pollutants in the coexistence systems of multiple PAHs and FQs, providing the best external field measures for the control and treatment of the combined pollution effects of different PAHs and FQs. Overall, the current study has important practical significance for promoting the plant-microbial joint remediation of PAHs-FQs pollution and for reducing the combined pollution of PAHs and FQs in farmland systems.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 873:162344.

Abstract
Microplastics and antibiotics were frequently detected in the effluent of sand filtration, while the presence of microplastics may change the interactions between the antibiotics and the quartz sands. However, the influence of microplastics on the transport of antibiotics in sand filtration has not been revealed. In this study, ciprofloxacin (CIP) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) were respectively grafted on AFM probes to determine the adhesion forces to the representative microplastics (PS and PE) and the quartz sand. CIP and SMX exhibited low and high mobilities in the quartz sands, respectively. Compositional analysis of the adhesion forces indicated that the lower mobility of CIP in sand filtration columns could be attributed to the electrostatic attraction between the quartz sand and CIP compared with repulsion for SMX. Moreover, the significant hydrophobic interaction between the microplastics and the antibiotics could be responsible for the competitive adsorption of the antibiotics to the microplastics from the quartz sands; meanwhile, the π-π interaction further enhanced the adsorption of PS to the antibiotics. As a result of the high mobility of microplastics in the quartz sands, the carrying effect of microplastics enhanced the transport of antibiotics in the sand filtration columns regardless of their original mobilities. This study provided insights into the mechanism of the microplastics on enhancing the transport of antibiotics in sand filtration systems from the perspective of the molecular interaction.

Heliyon 2023; 9:e16052. [PMID: 37215782 PMCID: PMC10192768 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e16052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2022] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023] Open
Abstract
When crops are cultivated on fields fertilized with animal manure, the risk exists that plants may take up antibiotic residues and may be exposed to antibiotic resistance genes and antibiotic resistant bacteria. During cultivation in a greenhouse pot experiment, leek (Allium porrum) was fertilized with either pig slurry or mineral fertilizer and exposed to either no antibiotics, doxycycline (10,000 μg/kg manure), sulfadiazine (1000 μg/kg manure), or lincomycin (1000 μg/kg manure). At harvest, 4.5 months later, lincomycin, sulfadiazine or doxycycline were not detected in any of the leek samples nor in their corresponding soil samples. Further, antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed on 181 Bacillus cereus group isolates and 52 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from the grown leek. For the B. cereus group isolates, only a small shift in MIC50 for lincomycin was observed among isolates from the lincomycin and control treatment. For P. aeruginosa, only in the setup with doxycycline treatment a higher MIC50 for doxycycline was observed compared to the control, specifically the isolates selected from growth media supplemented with 8 mg/L doxycycline. Nine antibiotic resistance genes (tet(B), tet(L), tet(M), tet(O), tet(Q), tet(W), erm(B), erm(F) and sul2) were investigated at harvest in the leek and soil samples. In the leek samples, none of the antibiotic resistance genes were detected. In the soil samples fertilized with pig slurry, the genes erm(B), erm(F), tet(M), sul2, tet(W) and tet(O) were detected in significantly higher copy numbers in the lincomycin treatment as compared to the other antibiotic treatments. This could be due to a shift in soil microbiota induced by the addition of lincomycin. The results of this study indicate that consumption of leek carries a low risk of exposure to antibiotic residues or antibiotic resistance to doxycycline, sulfadiazine or lincomycin.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) that persist and bioaccumulate in the environment have aroused people's great concern. Here, we studied the adverse effects of FQs in soil animals of Caenorhabditis elegans via food-chronically exposure. The result shows C. elegans exposed to FQs exhibited reproductive toxicity with small-brood size and low-egg hatchability. To study the underlying mechanism, we conduct a deep investigation of enrofloxacin (ENR), one of the most frequently detected FQs, on nematodes which is one of commonly used animal indicator of soil sustainability. The concentration-effect curves simulated by the Hill model showed that the half effect concentrations (EC50) of ENR were (494.3 ± 272.9) µmol/kg and (107.4 ± 30.9) µmol/kg for the brood size and the hatchability, respectively. Differential gene expression between the control and the ENR-exposure group enriched with the oxidative stress and cell apoptosis pathways. The results together with the enzyme activity in oxidative stress and the cell corpses suggested that ENR-induced reproductive toxicity was related to germ cell apoptosis under oxidative stress. The risk quotients of some soil and livestock samples were calculated based on the threshold value of EC10 for the egg hatchability (2.65 µmol/kg). The results indicated that there was possible reproductive toxicity on the nematodes in certain agricultural soils for the FQs. This study suggested that chronic exposure to FQs at certain levels in environment would induce reproductive toxicity to the nematodes and might reduce the soil sustainability, alarming the environment risks of antibiotics abuse.

Abstract
The riparian zone (RZ) is an important region connecting surface water and groundwater, and it has widely been acknowledged for its pollutant buffering capacity. However, the decontaminating effect of RZ on trace organic compounds such as antibiotics has received little attention. This study explored the distribution of 21 antibiotics and 4 sulfonamide metabolites in river water and groundwater in the lower reaches of the Hanjiang River. The diffusion and exchange of contaminants between the river and riverbanks under the influence of water conservancy projects (Xinglong Dam and the Yangtze-Hanjiang Water Diversion Project) were investigated. Macrolide antibiotics were prevalent in river water (62.5-100%) and groundwater samples (42.9-80.4%). Ofloxacin and chlortetracycline were detected with the highest concentrations in river water (12.2 ng L-1) and groundwater (9.3 ng L-1) respectively. Higher levels of antibiotics were observed in spring and winter than in other seasons. The river-groundwater interaction has a certain interception effect on antibiotics, especially near riverbanks. Redox sensitive element Fe2+ showed significantly positive correlations with some tetracycline and macrolide antibiotics (p < 0.05), and thus the migration mechanism between Fe2+ and antibiotics under the condition of redox change should be investigated further. Environmental risks posed by antibiotics were assessed for algae, daphnids, and fish in surface water and groundwater. Only clarithromycin and chlortetracycline presented a medium risk to algae (0.1 < RQ < 1), and the rest presented low risk (RQ < 0.1). Nevertheless, the risk range may be further extended by interactions between groundwater and surface water. Accurate understanding of antibiotic transport in RZ is critical for developing management strategies aimed at reducing the pollution load on the watershed.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted public health and the worldwide economy. The overstretched operation of health systems around the world is accompanied by potential and ongoing environmental threats. At present, comprehensive scientific assessments of research on temporal changes in medical/pharmaceutical wastewater (MPWW), as well as estimations of researcher networks and scientific productivity are lacking. Therefore, we conducted a thorough literature study, using bibliometrics to reproduce research on medical wastewater over nearly half a century. Our primary goal is systematically to map the evolution of keyword clusters over time, and to obtain the structure and credibility of clusters. Our secondary objective was to measure research network performance (country, institution, and author) using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. We extracted 2306 papers published between 1981 and 2022. The co-cited reference network identified 16 clusters with well-structured networks (Q = 0.7716, S = 0.896). The main trends were as follows: 1) Early MPWW research prioritized sources of wastewater, and this cluster was considered to be the mainstream research frontier and direction, representing an important source and priority research area. 2) Mid-term research focused on characteristic contaminants and detection technologies. Particularly during 2000-2010, a period of rapid developments in global medical systems, pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) in MPWW were recognized as a major threat to human health and the environment. 3) Recent research has focused on novel degradation technologies for PhC-containing MPWW, with high scores for research on biological methods. Wastewater-based epidemiology has emerged as being consistent with or predictive of the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases. Therefore, the application of MPWW in COVID-19 tracing will be of great interest to environmentalists. These results could guide the future direction of funding agencies and research groups.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) have been widely detected in the sediments due to vast production and consumption. In this study, the transformation of FQs was investigated in the presence of sediment mackinawite (FeS) under ambient conditions. Moreover, the role of dissolved oxygen was evaluated for the enhanced degradation of FQs induced by FeS. Our results demonstrated that typical FQs (i.e., flumequine, enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin) could be efficiently adsorbed and degraded by FeS under neutral pH conditions. As indicated by the results of electron paramagnetic resonance analysis (EPR) and free radicals quenching experiments, hydroxyl radical and superoxide radical anions were identified as the dominant reactive species responsible for FQs degradation. Based on the results of product analysis and theoretical calculation, the degradation of FQs mainly occurred at the piperazine ring and quinolone structure. Our results show that FQs could be efficiently removed by FeS, which benefits understanding the transformation of antibiotics in the sediments, and even sheds light on the remediation of organic pollutants contaminated soils.

Abstract
To understand the fate of antibiotics in the aquatic environment, we need to evaluate to which extent the following processes contribute to the overall antibiotic attenuation: adsorption to river sediment, biodegradation, hydrolysis and photodegradation. A laboratory scale mesocosm experiment was conducted in 10 L reactors filled with river sediment and water. The reactors were spiked with four classes of antibiotics (fluoroquinolones, macrolides, sulfonamides, tetracyclines), as well as clindamycin and trimethoprim. The experimental-set-up was designed to study the attenuation processes in parallel in one mesocosm experiment, hence also considering synergetic effects. Our results showed that antibiotics belonging to the same class exhibited similar behavior. Adsorption was the main attenuation process for the fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines (44.4 to 80.0 %). For the sulfonamides, biodegradation was the most frequent process (50.2 to 65.1 %). Hydrolysis appeared to be significant only for tetracyclines (12.6 to 41.8 %). Photodegradation through visible light played a minor role for most of the antibiotics - fluoroquinolones, sulfonamides, and trimethoprim (0.7 to 24.7 %). The macrolides were the only class of antibiotics not affected by the studied processes and they persisted in the water phase. Based on our results, we propose to class the antibiotics in three groups according to their persistence in the water phase. Fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines were non-persistent (half-lives shorter than 11 d). Chlorotetracycline, sulfapyridine and trimethoprim showed a moderate persistence (half-lives between 12 and 35 d). Due to half-lives longer than 36 d sulfonamides and clindamycin were classified as persistent.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) are of concern due to their disrupting effects on environmental bacterial communities. Evaluating FQ sorption by soil components is important to understand their interaction with soils and to address their environmental (bio)availability. However, data in soil organic components, especially humic acids, are scarce. Batch experiments following OECD guidelines are suitable for testing the sorption of pollutants in solid matrices. Here, we applied this methodology, with specific changes in the experimental setup, to derive sorption data and to identify the factors affecting sorption of four common FQs in seven humic acids with contrasting properties. The effect of shaking time, pH, calcium concentration in solution and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) content on the quantification of the solid-liquid distribution coefficient (Kd) of norfloxacin in three reference humic acids was evaluated. Sorption reversibility and sorption analogy of four FQs were additionally assessed in these three reference materials, whereas the effect of initial norfloxacin concentration was evaluated in the overall set of seven humic acids. Sorption was fast, strong, non-linear, irreversible and affected by changes in the pH and calcium levels in solution. The bell-shaped sorption trend at varying pH values confirmed the key role of FQ speciation in sorption and the high Kd values indicated a positive effect of soil organic matter components on FQ sorption in bulk soils at environmentally relevant pH values.•Relevant factors affecting sorption of pollutants in environmental matrices must be considered to derive Kd values with low variability and high representativeness.•In this article we modify the experimental conditions of standard batch tests to identify the factors that affect the sorption of FQs in humic acids.•The methodological approach followed can be extrapolated to the evaluation of other combinations of pollutant and environmental matrix.

Abstract
The evaluation of the sorption affinity of fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) in soils, by means of the derivation of solid-liquid distribution coefficients (Kd), is a valuable information for assessing their environmental mobility. Aiming to develop Kd (FQ) prediction tools in soils, in the first stage of this study we constructed a Kd (FQ) sorption dataset using current literature data. Furthermore, additional sorption and desorption data for norfloxacin were obtained in seven different soils of contrasting properties. Sorption isotherms of norfloxacin were linear under the experimental conditions tested and desorption percentages increased for scenarios in which low sorption was noted. Sorption tests in the same soils were then extended to ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin and ofloxacin and pooled in the dataset, revealing comparable Kd (FQ) values among the FQ tested after analyzing the overall dataset consisting in 312 entries of Kd (FQ). A partial least square (PLS) regression model was then developed to predict values of Kd (FQ) based on specific relevant soil properties (i.e., pH, cation exchange capacity and organic carbon and texture information), and, for the first time, FQ properties (fraction of cationic FQ species) affecting sorption. Additionally, probabilistic, Kd (FQ) best estimates in soils were derived through cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) for the overall and for partial datasets created by grouping Kd (FQ) values according to key soil properties affecting FQ sorption (i.e., pH, organic carbon content and texture information). This latter approach permitted to derive more representative Kd (FQ) best estimates for the soils to be assessed, and with a lower related variability than that derived from the overall dataset. Best estimates Kd (FQ) values were > 1000 L kg-1 for most acidic to neutral soils, suggesting strong sorption, although lower sorption and thus higher environmental mobility may be expected in scenarios with soils with alkaline pH, low OC and high sand contents. SYNOPSIS: This study aims to derive parametric and probabilistic Kd values for fluoroquinolone antibiotics in soils on the basis of a few relevant soil physicochemical properties.

Abstract
Antibiotics enter into agricultural land, via manure application or wastewater irrigation. The practices of using untreated wastewater in the agricultural system help in the bioaccumulation of antibiotics in vegetables and other crops. Exposure to the bioaccumulated antibiotics poses serious health risks to ecosystem and human. In this study, the prevalence of two fluoroquinolones (levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin), their bioaccumulation in five crops (Daucus carota L., Pisum sativum L., Raphanus raphanistrum L., Lactuca sativa L., Spinacia oleracea L.), and associated human health risks were investigated. Lettuce showed highest bioaccumulation of levofloxacin (LEV) (12.66 μg kg-1) and carrot showed high bioaccumulation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) (13.01 μg kg-1). In roots, bioconcentration factor (BCFroot) was observed to be relatively high in radish (LEV 0.24-0.43, CIP 0.32-0.49) and observed to be lower in spinach (LEV 0.05-0.13, CIP 0.12-0.19). The translocation factor (TF) for LEV and CIP was generally >1 for all five crops under all treatment. The final transfer and distribution of LEV and CIP in the edible parts of the crops were as follows: leaves > shoots > roots for both antibiotics. Risk quotient of both LEV and CIP in current study is found to be in between 0.018 and 0.557 and shows a medium risk (0.1 to 1) to human health due the discharge of untreated wastewater into the fields. However, our study reports that both antibiotics do accumulate in the edible plant parts; therefore, it poses potential risks to human health.

Abstract
In this study, honeycomb lignin-based biochar (HLB) was prepared by hydrothermal activation using industrial lignin as raw material to remove norfloxacin from water. Batch adsorption test results showed that HLB has a strong ability to remove norfloxacin at a wide pH. The maximum adsorption capacity was 529.85 mg/g at 298 K, which is 1.52-fold to 201.46-fold higher than that of other reported materials. HLB showed good selectivity and recycling ability for the adsorption of norfloxacin, the removal rate of NOR reached 99.5% in the presence of competitive ions and maintained at least 98% removal rate after 12 adsorption cycles. The removal rate of norfloxacin in different water reached more than 99% within 8 mins. Pore filling, electrostatic interaction, π-π interaction, and hydrogen bond contributed significantly to the removal of norfloxacin. Among them, the highly aromatized structure of HLB and the abundant oxygen-containing functional groups (OH, CO, etc.) promoted π-π interaction.

Abstract
Reclaimed water is widely concerned as an effective recharge of groundwater and surface water, but trace organic pollutants produced by traditional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) would cause environmental pollution (water and soil) during infiltration. Therefore, the effects of reclaimed water containing ofloxacin (OFL) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) in antibiotics polluted natural soil (APNS) were investigated by simulating soil aquifer treatment systems (SATs). The experiment results showed that OFL and CIP in water were adsorbed and microbially degraded mainly at 30 cm, and the concentration of OFL and CIP in soil increased with depth, which were mainly due to the desorption from APNS. Concurrently, the change in replenishment water concentration also significantly affected OFL and CIP in pore water and soil. Although OFL and CIP inhibited the diversity of soil microbial community, they also promoted the growth of some microorganisms. As the dominant bacteria, Proteobacteria and Acidobacteriota can effectively participate in the degradation of OFL and CIP. The degradation effects of soil microorganisms on OFL and CIP were 45.48% and 42.39%, respectively, indicating that soil microorganisms selectively degraded pollutants. This experiment was carried out on APNS, which provided a reference for future studies on the migration of trace organic pollutants under natural conditions.

Abstract
Straw incorporation into reclaimed soils has been demonstrated to increase soil nutrients and has the potential to efficiently increase crop production. However, which incorporation mode is more helpful in the control of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) remains unknown. In this study, we systematically compared the occurrence of antibiotic resistome in norfloxacin contaminated soils amended with rice straw (RS) and the transformation products, biochar (RSB) and ash (RSA). RS significantly promoted the degradation of norfloxacin (0.0648 d-1, 3 times faster than control), whereas RSB had little effect and RSA hindered the degradation. Based on metagenomic analysis, RS and RSB significantly reduced the ARGs relative abundance (0.1421 and 0.1991 compared to 0.2540 in control) at the end of soil incubation. Adonis test indicated that all of amendment treatments significantly affect the microbial communities in soils, whereas only RS and RSB significantly affect the variation of antibiotic resistome. Procrustes analysis confirmed the association of microbial communities and ARGs. Network analysis further revealed that the reduction in Actinobacteria was the main reason for the general decrease of ARGs relative abundance during soil incorporation, whereas Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes were responsible for temporary promotion of ARGs in RS and RSB at the early stage. Finally, scientifically setting up the usage of rice straw and optimizing the preparation process of biochar are suggested for the synchronous control of the risk of antibiotics and ARGs during soil incorporation.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of different lead and cadmium salts (Pb(NO3)2, Cd(NO3)2, PbCl2, and CdCl2) on the photolytic degradation of two typical fluoroquinolones (levofloxacin (LVF) and norfloxacin (NOR)) under natural sunlight irradiation. Their half-life time and photolytic kinetic constants (k) were calculated at different molar ratios. The results indicated that the photolytic degradation curves of LVF and NOR followed apparent first-order kinetics. After 42 days of sunlight irradiation, approximately 48.3-69.4% of NOR was decomposed when the initial concentration increased from 0.006 to 0.06 mmol/L. In comparison, only 9.8-43.4% of LVF was decomposed. The k of NOR ranged from 0.79 × 10-3 to 1.30 × 10-3 h-1, and the k of LVF increased from 6.82 × 10-4 to 1.61 × 10-4 h-1. Compared with the control, the Pb2+ and Cd2+ participation tended to enhance the LVF and NOR photodegradation. The effects of Cd2+ on the photodegradation efficiency were more significant than those of Pb2+. It was inferred that the presence of aqueous NO3- obviously suppressed the NOR degradation, but Cl- had slight effects on these two fluoroquinolones' photodegradation. These results are of importance toward the understanding of the persistence of FQs under natural sunlight irradiation in surface waters.

Abstract
Antibiotics play an essential role in the medical healthcare world, but their widespread usage and high prevalence have posed negative environmental consequences. During the past few decades, various antibiotic drugs have been detected in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Among them, the Fluoroquinolones (FQ) group is ubiquitous in the environment and has emerged as a major environmental pollutant. FQs are very significant, broad-spectrum antibiotics used in treating various pathogenic diseases of humans and animals. The most known and used FQs are ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, enrofloxacin, danofloxacin, and moxifloxacin. After human and animal administration, about 70% of these drugs are excreted out in unaltered form into the environment. Besides, wastewater discharge from pharmaceutical industries, hospitals, and agriculture runoff is the major contributor to the accumulation of FQs into the ecosystem. Their long-term presence in the environment creates selection pressure on microorganisms and contributes to the emergence of multi-drug-resistant bacteria. In addition to the resistance, these antibiotics also impose ecotoxicological effects on various animals and plant species. The presence of the fluorine atom in Fluoroquinolones makes them highly electronegative, strong, recalcitrant, and less compatible with microbial degradation. Many biological and chemical processes have been invented and successfully implemented during the past few decades for the elimination of these pollutants from the environment. This review provides a detailed overview of the classification, occurrence, distribution, and ecotoxicological effects of Fluoroquinolones. Their modes of action, resistance mechanism, detection and analysis methods, and remediation strategies have also been discussed in detail.

Abstract
Laccase was successfully hybridized with polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer-grafted silica-coated hercynite-copper phosphate magnetic hybrid nanoflowers (MHNFs) to increase the catalytic performance of the enzyme and apply in an effective bioremoval of gemifloxacin. For this purpose, the magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) of hercynite were covered with a silica layer, and the core-shell SiO2@hercynite was then modified with PAMAM dendrimer to increase the surface area of the carrier for the enzyme attachment. Subsequently, the whole complex was hybridized with laccase and copper phosphate to attain a large surface area (104.3 m2 g-1). The fabricated MHNFs acquired the entrapment yield and efficiency of 90 ± 3% and 66 ± 5%, respectively. The catalytic activity of the fabricated biocatalyst was remained up to 50% after 13 reusability cycles. Approximately 90% of gemifloxacin was removed by the constructed MHNFs after 3 h incubation by adsorption and degradation mechanisms. The biotransformation products were then identified, and degradation pathways were proposed as defluorination, decarboxylation, elimination of a cyclopropyl group, and cleavage of the pyrrolidine moiety. Furthermore, the toxicity of gemifloxacin was effectively diminished against some bacterial strains.

Abstract
Little is understood about the embryonic development of sociality. We screened 1120 known drugs and found that embryonic inhibition of topoisomerase IIα (Top2a) resulted in lasting social deficits in zebrafish. In mice, prenatal Top2 inhibition caused defects in social interaction and communication, which are behaviors that relate to core symptoms of autism. Mutation of Top2a in zebrafish caused down-regulation of a set of genes highly enriched for genes associated with autism in humans. Both the Top2a-regulated and autism-associated gene sets have binding sites for polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), a regulatory complex responsible for H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3). Moreover, both gene sets are highly enriched for H3K27me3. Inhibition of the PRC2 component Ezh2 rescued social deficits caused by Top2 inhibition. Therefore, Top2a is a key component of an evolutionarily conserved pathway that promotes the development of social behavior through PRC2 and H3K27me3.

Antibiotics (Basel) 2022; 11:1650.

Abstract
Poultry litter is widely used worldwide as an organic fertilizer in agriculture. However, poultry litter may contain high concentrations of antibiotics and/or antimicrobial-resistant bacteria (ARB), which can be mobilized through soil erosion to water bodies, contributing to the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. To better comprehend this kind of mobilization, the bacterial communities of four ponds used for irrigation in agricultural and poultry production areas were determined in two periods of the year: at the beginning (low volume of rainfall) and at the end of the rainy season (high volume of rainfall). 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed not only significantly different bacterial community structures and compositions among the four ponds but also between the samplings. When the DNA obtained from the water samples was PCR amplified using primers for ARGs, those encoding integrases (intI1) and resistance to sulfonamides (sul1 and sul2) and β-lactams (blaGES, blaTEM and blaSHV) were detected in three ponds. Moreover, bacterial strains were isolated from CHROMagar plates supplemented with sulfamethoxazole, ceftriaxone or ciprofloxacin and identified as belonging to clinically important Enterobacteriaceae. The results presented here indicate a potential risk of spreading ARB through water resources in agricultural areas with extensive fertilization with poultry litter.
