JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 479:135656. [PMID: 39213768 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 08/18/2024] [Accepted: 08/25/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
The widespread existence and persistence of antibiotics in the aquatic environment, and their extensive ecological risks, have attracted considerable attention. The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence and distribution of 25 antibiotics in environmental and biological samples from Poyang Lake Basin in China. SPE-HPLC-MS/MS was used to quantify the concentrations in different matrices. The total concentrations ranged from 144 to 933 ng/L in the water and 346 to 1154 ng/g in the sediment. In the spatial distribution analysis of this basin, the concentrations in the Ganjiang River were generally higher than those in Poyang Lake. The seasonal distribution in the wet and dry seasons showed comparatively higher concentrations during the dry season than the wet season. Additionally, antibiotics were found in various hydrophytes and animals, and the bioconcentration factor values followed the order: emergent plants > floating plants > submerged plants and benthic organisms > ducks > fish. Moreover, correlations among different matrices showed that antibiotics in viviparid snails were significantly positively correlated with those in ducks, and negatively correlated with those in carps, indicating the transmission relationship through the food chain. The results showed the trophic transfer of antibiotics in the food web and their potential environmental impacts on Poyang Lake Basin need constant attention.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:55935-55957. [PMID: 39254807 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-34806-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/11/2024]
Abstract
A growing environmental concern revolves around the widespread use of medicines, particularly antibiotics, which adversely impact water quality and various life forms. The unregulated production and utilization of antibiotics not only affect non-targeted organisms but also exert significant evolutionary pressures, leading to the rapid development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial communities. To address this issue, global studies have been conducted to assess the prevalence and quantities of antibiotics in various environmental components including freshwater, ocean, local sewage, and fish. These studies aim to establish effective analytical methods for identifying and measuring antibiotic residues in environmental matrices that might enable authorities to establish norms for the containment and disposal of antibiotics. This article offers a comprehensive overview of methods used to extract antibiotics from environmental matrices exploring purification techniques such as liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction, green extraction techniques, and concentration methods like lyophilization and rotary evaporation. It further highlights qualitative and quantitative analysis methods, high-performance liquid chromatography, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography, and liquid chromatography-tandem along with analytical methods such as UV-Vis and tandem mass spectrometry for detecting and measuring antibiotics. Urgency is underscored for proactive strategies to curb antibiotic contamination, safeguarding the integrity of aquatic ecosystems and public health on a global scale.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 474:134813.

Abstract
Freshwater systems near highly urbanized areas are extremely susceptible to emerging contaminants (ECs), yet their stereoscopic persistence in aquatic ecosystems and related risks remain largely unknown. Herein, we characterized the multi-mediums distribution of 63 ECs in Baiyangdian Lake, the biggest urban lake in the North of China. We identified variations in the seasonal patterns of aquatic EC levels, which decreased in water and increased in sediment from wet to dry seasons. Surprisingly, higher concentrations and a greater variety of ECs were detected in reeds than in aquatic animals, indicating that plants may contribute to the transferring of ECs. Source analysis indicated that human activity considerably affected the distribution and risk of ECs. The dietary risk of ECs is most pronounced among children following the intake of aquatic products, especially with a relatively higher risk associated with fish consumption. Besides, a comprehensive scoring ranking method was proposed, and 9 ECs, including BPS and macrolide antibiotics, are identified as prioritized control pollutants. These findings highlight the risks associated with aquatic ECs and can facilitate the development of effective management strategies.

Abstract
Sulfonamides, quinolones, tetracyclines, and macrolides are the most prevalent classes of antibiotics used in both medical treatment and agriculture. The misuse of antibiotics leads to their extensive dissemination in the environment. These antibiotics can modify the structure and functionality of microbial communities, consequently impacting microbial-mediated nitrogen cycling processes including nitrification, denitrification, and anammox. They can change the relative abundance of nirK/norB contributing to the emission of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the presence of these four antibiotic classes across different environmental matrices and synthesizes current knowledge of their effects on the nitrogen cycle, including the underlying mechanisms. Such an overview is crucial for understanding the ecological impacts of antibiotics and for guiding future research directions. The presence of antibiotics in the environment varies widely, with significant differences in concentration and type across various settings. We conducted a comprehensive review of over 70 research articles that compare various aspects including processes, antibiotics, concentration ranges, microbial sources, experimental methods, and mechanisms of influence. Antibiotics can either inhibit, have no effect, or even stimulate nitrification, denitrification, and anammox, depending on the experimental conditions. The influence of antibiotics on the nitrogen cycle is characterized by dose-dependent responses, primarily inhibiting nitrification, denitrification, and anammox. This is achieved through alterations in microbial community composition and diversity, carbon source utilization, enzyme activities, electron transfer chain function, and the abundance of specific functional enzymes and antibiotic resistance genes. These alterations can lead to diminished removal of reactive nitrogen and heightened nitrous oxide emissions, potentially exacerbating the greenhouse effect and related environmental issues. Future research should consider diverse reaction mechanisms and expand the scope to investigate the combined effects of multiple antibiotics, as well as their interactions with heavy metals and other chemicals or organisms.

Abstract
Wastewater surveillance enables rapid pathogen monitoring and community prevalence estimation. However, how to design an integrated and tailored wastewater surveillance framework to monitor major health threats in metropolises remains a major challenge. In this study, we first analyzed the historical clinical data of Xi'an city and designed a wastewater surveillance framework covering five key endemic viruses, namely, SARS-CoV-2, norovirus, influenza A virus (IAV), influenza B virus (IBV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and hantavirus. Amplicon sequencing of SARS-CoV-2, norovirus and hantavirus was conducted biweekly to determine the prevalent community genotypes circulating in this region. The results showed that from April 2023 to August 2023, Xi'an experienced two waves of SARS-CoV-2 infection, which peaked in the middle of May-2023 and late August-2023. The sewage concentrations of IAV and RSV peaked in early March and early May 2023, respectively, while the sewage concentrations of norovirus fluctuated throughout the study period and peaked in late August. The dynamics of the sewage concentrations of SARS-CoV-2, norovirus, IAV, RSV, and hantavirus were in line with the trends in the sentinel hospital percent positivity data, indicating the role of wastewater surveillance in enhancing the understanding of epidemic trends. Amplicon sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 revealed a transition in the predominant genotype, which changed from DY.1 and FR.1.4 to the XBB and EG.5 subvariants. Amplicon sequencing also revealed that there was only one predominant hantavirus genotype in the local population, while highly diverse genotypes of norovirus GI and GII were found in the wastewater. In conclusion, this study provided valuable insights into the dynamics of infection trends and predominant genotypes of key pathogens in a city without sufficient clinical surveillance, highlighting the role of a tailored wastewater surveillance framework in addressing public health priorities. More importantly, our study provides the first evidence demonstrating the applicability of wastewater surveillance for hantavirus, which is a major health threat locally.

Abstract
In lake ecosystems, pelagic-benthic coupling strength (PBCS) is closely related to foodweb structure and pollutant transport. However, the trophic transfer of antibiotics in a benthic-pelagic coupling foodweb (BPCFW) and the manner in which PBCS influences the trophic magnification factor (TMFs) of antibiotics is still not well understood in the whole lake. Herein, the trophic transfer behavior of 12 quinolone antibiotics (QNs) in the BPCFW of Baiyangdian Lake were studied during the period of 2018-2019. It was revealed that 24 dominant species were contained in the BPCFW, and the trophic level was 0.42-2.94. Seven QNs were detected in organisms, the detection frequencies of ofloxacin (OFL), flumequine (FLU), norfloxacin (NOR), and enrofloxacin (ENR) were higher than other QNs. The ∑QN concentration in all species was 11.3-321 ng/g dw. The TMFs for ENR and NOR were trophic magnification, while for FLU/OFL it was trophic dilution. The PBCS showed spatial-temporal variation, with a range of 0.6977-0.7910. The TMFs of ENR, FLU, and OFL were significantly positively correlated with PBCS. Phytoplankton and macrophyte biomasses showed indirect impact on the TMFs of QNs by directly influencing the PBCS. Therefore, the PBCS was the direct influencing factor for the TMFs of chemicals.

Abstract
The fate of fluoroquinolone antibiotics norfloxacin and ofloxacin were investigated in mesocosmic wetlands, along with their effects on nutrients removal, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and epiphytic microbial communities on Hydrilla verticillate using bionic plants as control groups. Approximately 99% of norfloxacin and ofloxacin were removed from overlaying water, and H. verticillate inhibited fluoroquinolones accumulation in surface sediments compared to bionic plants. Partial least squares path modeling showed that antibiotics significantly inhibited the nutrient removal capacity (0.55) but had no direct effect on plant physiology. Ofloxacin impaired wetland performance more strongly than norfloxacin and more impacted the primary microbial phyla, whereas substrates played the most decisive role on microbial diversities. High antibiotics concentration shifted the most dominant phyla from Proteobacteria to Bacteroidetes and inhibited the Xenobiotics biodegradation function, contributing to the aggravation in wetland performance. Dechloromonas and Pseudomonas were regarded as the key microorganisms for antibiotics degradation. Co-occurrence network analysis excavated that microorganisms degrade antibiotics mainly through co-metabolism, and more complexity and facilitation/reciprocity between microbes attached to submerged plants compared to bionic plants. Furthermore, environmental factors influenced ARGs mainly by altering the community dynamics of differential bacteria. This study offers new insights into antibiotic removal and regulation of ARGs accumulation in wetlands with submerged macrophyte.

Abstract
Commercial chemicals, such as synthetic musks, are of global concern, but data on their occurrence and spatial distribution in aquatic environments of large scale are scarce. Two sampling campaigns were conducted in the present study to measure freely dissolved synthetic musks in freshwaters across China using passive samplers, along with biological coexposure at selected sites. Polycyclic musks (PCMs) dominated synthetic musks, with a detection frequency of 95%. Higher concentrations of PCMs were observed in densely populated Mid, East, and South China compared to less populated regions, indicating the significance of anthropogenic activities for synthetic musks in water. The concentration ratios of galaxolide (HHCB)/tonalide (AHTN) were significantly higher in low-latitude areas than in high-latitude areas from June to September, suggesting that solar radiation played an important role in the degradation of HHCB/AHTN. Significant correlations were found between dissolved concentrations of HHCB and AHTN and their lipid-normalized concentrations in coexposed fish and clam. The estimated hazard quotients for HHCB and AHTN in freshwater fish consumed by humans were less than 0.01 at all sampling sites except the Yangtze River Basin. These results help to understand the environmental fate and ecological risks of synthetic musks on a large geographical scale.

Abstract
We investigated fourteen antibiotics, three illegal drugs, and two toxic elements in commercially available gastropods from southeast China. The data revealed high detection frequencies (DFs) for florfenicol (61.32%), florfenicol amine (47.33%), and thiamphenicol (39.88%), with maximum concentrations of 1110, 2222, and 136 μg/kg wet weight (ww), respectively. The DFs of illegal drugs were 3.54% for leucomalachite green and 0.3% for chloramphenicol. The average levels of Cd and As were 1.17 and 6.12 mg/kg ww, respectively. All chemicals presented diverse DFs in different sampling months. The highest DFs of florfenicol, florfenicol amine, and thiamphenicol were in July. The health risk assessment showed that targeted hazard quotients (THQs) of antibiotics, Cd, and As for children, teens, and adults were all less than one. Notably, the toxic elements (Cd and As) were identified as the primary health risk in gastropods, contributing to over 90% of the total THQs.

We investigated 14 antibiotic residues in 8 marketed freshwater fish species from southeast China and estimated the associated health risks to local consumers. The antibiotic residues were determined by UPLC-MS/MS. Our findings revealed widespread distribution of quinolones (QNs), tetracyclines (TCs), and chloramphenicols (CAPs) in the freshwater fish. Notably, the average concentrations of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin reached levels as high as 62.5 μg/kg wet weight (ww) and 11.7 μg/kg ww, respectively, and detection frequencies were 68.7% for enrofloxacin and 31.6% for ciprofloxacin. Additionally, we detected chloramphenicol, a prohibited antibiotic, in samples with a detection frequency of 0.76%. Among the fish species, the mean concentration of total antibiotic residues was highest in bluntnose black bream (263.3 μg/kg), followed by English perch (52.4 μg/kg), crucian carp (46.3 μg/kg), black carp (28.6 μg/kg), yellowcheek carp (21.0 μg/kg), grass carp (15.3 μg/kg), bighead carp (3.78 μg/kg), and mandarin fish (3.69 μg/kg). We estimated the daily intake values of these antibiotic residues which were lower than the acceptable daily intake values and hazard indexes were much less than 1. It indicates that there is very low direct health risk to consumers. Despite that, investigation on the chronic impact, such as antibiotic-resistant bacteria, gut microbiota disruption, and allergic reactions, is urgently needed.

Abstract
Emerging pollutants are hazardous to the ecological environment and human health, and these issues have attracted increasing attention from scholars. In the current study, the Taiwan Strait is long and narrow, highly influenced by terrestrial domains, and frequently disturbed by human activities. Conversely, the Luzon Strait is an open sea far from the shore, and the impact of human activities on it is minimal. The description of antibiotics in two different types of seas revealed that contaminants were most commonly detected in both straits. In particular, the coasts of the Minjiang River, Jinjiang River, and Jiulong River were found to be pollution hotspots in the Taiwan Strait. The calculation of risk quotients revealed that antibiotics were more sensitive to algae. Furthermore, estimation of the risk quotients of the mixtures found that antibiotics in the environment do not pose a high risk to aquatic organisms at different trophic levels.

New insight into the bioaccumulation and trophic transfer of free and conjugated antibiotics in an estuarine food web based on multimedia fate and model simulation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133088. [PMID: 38016320 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
The substantial utilization of antibiotics causes their "pseudo-persistence" in offshore environments. Published studies on antibiotic surveillance in food webs have primarily emphasized on parent forms; however, the compositions and concentrations of conjugated antibiotics in aquatic organisms remain largely unexplored. This study systematically examined the distribution characteristics and trophodynamics of free antibiotics and their conjugated forms in an estuarine food web. Total antibiotic levels differed insignificantly between the surface and bottom waters. The total mean values of free antibiotics in crabs, fish, shrimps, sea cucumbers, and snails varied from 0.77 to 1.4 ng/g (wet weight). The numbers and values of antibiotics rose in these biological samples after enzymatic hydrolysis. Conjugated antibiotics accounted for 23.8-76.9% of the total antibiotics in the biological samples, revealing that conjugated forms play a non-negligible role in aquatic organisms. More number of antibiotics exhibited bioaccumulation capabilities after enzymatic hydrolysis. In the food web, the free forms of anhydroerythromycin and conjugated forms of trimethoprim and ciprofloxacin underwent trophic dilution, whereas the free forms of trimethoprim and conjugated forms of ofloxacin underwent trophic amplification. The present work provides new insights into the bioaccumulation and trophic transfer of free and conjugated antibiotics in food webs.

Abstract
Enrofloxacin (ENR) is used to prevent and treat fish diseases widely. However, its pollution is increasing public concern on human health and aquatic ecosystem safety. This review aims to find its pollution mechanisms and control way. It is found: (1) The excessive ENR administration is the main source, the sediment ENR escaping from photolysis is the secondary ENR pollution source; (2) The ENR-rich fishes were benthic lipid-rich fishes which can simultaneously absorb administration ENR and sediment ENR, the ENR bioaccumulation is positively related to the fish habitats ENR level and fish lipids content; (3) The ENR t1/2 varies with fish age, body weight, feedstuff lipids and crude fiber level, temperature, salinity, administration mode and dose; Consequently, the first control way is to conduct the minimum inhibitory concentration ENR, combining herbal medicines with antibacterial and detoxification functions. The second way is to develop the enrichment and removal techniques for sediment ENR.

Abstract
Despite the known direct toxicity of various antibiotics to aquatic organisms, the potential chronic impact through intergenerational transmission on reproduction remains elusive. Here, we exposed zebrafish to a mixture of 15 commonly consumed antibiotics at environmentally relevant concentrations (1 and 100 μg L-1) with a cross-mating design. A high accumulation of antibiotics was detected in the ovary (up to 904.58 ng g-1) and testis (up to 1704.49 ng g-1) of F0 fish. The transmission of antibiotics from the F0 generation to the subsequent generation (F1 offspring) was confirmed with a transmission rate (ki) ranging from 0.11 to 2.32. The maternal transfer of antibiotics was significantly higher, relative to paternal transfer, due to a greater role of transmission through ovarian enrichment and oviposition compared to testis enrichment. There were similar impairments in reproductive and developmental indexes on F1 eggs found following both female and male parental exposure. Almost all antibiotics were eliminated in F2 eggs in comparison to F1 eggs. However, there were still reproductive and developmental toxic responses observed in F2 fish, suggesting that antibiotic concentration levels were not the only criterion for evaluating the toxic effects for each generation. These findings unveil the intergenerational transmission mechanism of antibiotics in fish models and underscore their potential and lasting impact in aquatic environments.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been growing concern about antibiotic contamination in water bodies, particularly the widespread presence of fluoroquinolones (FQs), which pose a serious threat to ecosystems due to their extensive use and the phenomenon of "pseudo-persistence". This article provides a comprehensive review of the literature on FQs in water bodies, summarizing and analyzing contamination levels of FQs in global surface water over the past three years, as well as the bioaccumulation and metabolism patterns of FQs in aquatic organisms, their ecological toxicity, and the influencing factors. The results show that FQs contamination is widespread in surface water across the surveyed 32 countries, with ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin being the most heavy contaminants. Furthermore, contamination levels are generally higher in developing and developed countries. It has been observed that compound types, species, and environmental factors influence the bioaccumulation, metabolism, and toxicity of FQs in aquatic organisms. FQs tend to accumulate more in organisms with higher lipid content, and toxicity experiments have shown that FQs exhibit the highest toxicity to bacteria and the weakest toxicity to mollusk. This article summarizes and analyzes the current research status and shortcomings of FQs, providing guidance and theoretical support for future research directions.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the levels of 12 sulfonamide antibiotics in freshwater fish species obtained from three cities in northeastern China (Harbin, Changchun, and Shenyang). The analysis was conducted using HPLC-MS/MS to accurately quantify the antibiotic concentrations in the fish samples. The results showed that the average levels of sulfonamide antibiotics in fish samples from Harbin, Changchun, and Shenyang were 1.83 ng/g ww, 0.98 ng/g ww, and 1.60 ng/g ww, respectively. Sulfamethoxazole displayed the highest levels and detection rates in all three cities, whereas sulphapyridine exhibited the lowest concentrations in all the fish samples. The levels of sulfonamide antibiotic residues in the different fish species varied widely among the cities, and the highest level of antibiotic residues was found in the muscle of carnivorous fish. The results from a health risk evaluation on the consumption of these fish indicated that the risk from long-term antibiotic exposure to local residents from the intake of the sampled fish was small and not sufficient to pose a significant health risk to consumers.

Abstract
Ice formation in reservoirs could promote the accumulation of antibiotics in fish, potentially leading to elevated concentrations in fish muscles, kidneys, and livers. However, for the seasonal ice-sealed reservoirs, antibiotic sampling and detecting conditions in water and fish are normally limited by the ice cover. Additionally, previous studies on the prediction of antibiotics accumulated in seasonal ice-sealed reservoir fish are scarce. This study presents a coupled model incorporating a multimedia fate model and a bioaccumulation model to predict antibiotic fate in water and the muscles, kidneys, and livers of fish in seasonal ice-sealed reservoirs. Prediction concentrations of florfenicol were higher than those of ofloxacin and norfloxacin in both water and fish from the seasonal ice-sealed reservoir. Log bioaccumulation factors of antibiotics in Cyprinus carpio and Hypophthalmichthys nobilis in January 2021 were higher than those in October 2020 by 21.5% and 12.6%, respectively. Antibiotics mean transfer fluxes from water to fish muscles, kidneys, and livers increased owing to the reservoir ice-cover formation date advancing by 13.0%, 77.1%, and 61.0%, respectively. This work provides a modeling tool for investigating the fate and mass transfer flux of antibiotics in biological and environmental phases in seasonal ice-sealed reservoirs.

Abstract
Antibiotic pollution caused by aquaculture industries is a common problem in the wetland of the Yellow River Delta (YRD). Aquatic and terrestrial food webs coexist and interact in wetlands. However, there are few comparative studies on antibiotics in these two food webs. This study investigated the occurrence, bioaccumulation, and trophic transfer of 19 antibiotics in the aquatic and terrestrial food webs of the YRD, and discussed the effects of physicochemical parameters in different food webs. The total concentrations of antibiotics in aquatic organisms and terrestrial organisms ranged from 11.61 to 63.08 ng/g dry weight (dw) and 4.21-9.11 ng/g dw, respectively. BAF (bioaccumulation factor), BSAFa (biota sediment accumulation factor), and BSAFt (biota soil accumulation factor) were used to explore the bioaccumulation capacity of antibiotics. The calculation results of these three factors showed that fluoroquinolones (FQs) had the highest bioaccumulation capacity. As for the trophic transfer, the total concentrations of antibiotics were biodiluted in the aquatic food web while biomagnified in the terrestrial food web. Physicochemical parameters of the antibiotics showed that log Kow (octanol-water partition coefficient)/log Dow (pH-dependent distribution coefficient) and log Koa (octanol-air partition coefficient) were good predictors for antibiotic bioaccumulation in the aquatic and terrestrial organisms of the YRD, respectively. In addition, the increasing log Dow and log Koa led to a rise of TMF (trophic magnification factor) in the aquatic food web while a decrease of TMF in the terrestrial food web. Overall, these results provide insights into the mechanisms on bioaccumulation and trophic transfer of antibiotics in different food webs.

Abstract
Habitats of species and physicochemical factors are of great importance in determining the trophic transfer of contaminants in freshwater ecosystems. There is little information on how multiple physicochemical factors and habitats influence the trophic transfer of antibiotics in freshwater food webs. This study investigated the concentrations of 7 sulfonamides (SAs), 4 fluoroquinolones (FQs), 4 tetracyclines (TCs) and 2 macrolides (MLs) in the Lake Dianshan food web. Stable isotope analysis (SIA), and mathematical models were used to assign trophic levels and distinguish between the benthic food web (BFW) and pelagic food web (PFW). Values of stable nitrogen isotope (δ15N‰) and stable carbon isotope (δ13C‰) ranged from 10.2 ± 0.11 to 19.72 ± 0.05 and -33.67 ± 0.18 to -20.79 ± 0.50, respectively. Total concentrations of antibiotics ranged from 36.63 ± 12.73 ng/g dry weight (dw) to 105.85 ± 12.95 ng/g dw for all species. The relative abundance of antibiotics was in the following order: ∑FQs (36.49 %) > ∑SAs (26.70 %), >∑MLs (12.63 %) for all biotas. Trophic magnification factor (TMFs) values for individual antibiotics ranged from 0.10 to 1.20 and 0.31 to 1.82 for PFW and BFW, respectively. Three classes of antibiotics ∑FQs (p < 0.05), ∑TCs (p < 0.05), and ∑MLs (p < 0.05) showed significant trophic dilution in PFW, opposite to non-significant trophic dilution in BFW. The influence of various physicochemical factors was not strong over trophic transfer (e.g., octanol-water partition coefficient-LogKow (r = -0.05 in PFW, r = -0.14 in BFW) and distribution coefficient-LogD (r = 0.06 in PWF, r = -0.28 in BFW)) except for aqueous solubility (LogS). Results indicated a significantly higher trophic dilution of antibiotics in the PFW than in the BFW. Among the studied six physicochemical factors, only LogS significantly influences (p < 0.05) the trophic transfer of antibiotics in the freshwater food web. Health risk assessments indicated that currently, there were no serious risks present for urban and rural populations.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 858:159684. [PMID: 36302441 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2021] [Revised: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
This work primarily emphases on evaluating the prevalence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in the perennial Yamuna River (YR) that flow through the national capital of India, Delhi. Sixteen sampling campaigns (non-monsoon, n = 9; monsoon n = 7) were organized to understand the seasonal variations with special emphasis on monsoon. We have found fifty-five OMPs in the monsoon; while forty-seven were detected in non-monsoon. Fifty-seven screened and quantified OMPs in the most polluted stretch of River Yamuna included the pharmaceutically active compounds, pesticides, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, phthalates, personal care products, fatty acids, food additives, hormones, and trace organics present in hospital wastes. During monsoon months, compounds for which concentrations exceeded 50 μg/L were: adenine (64.6 μg/L), diethyl phthalate (62.9 μg/L), and octamethyltrisiloxane (56.9 μg/L); and the same for non-monsoon months was only for 1-dodecanethiol (52.3 μg/L). The average concentration of OMPs in non-monsoon months indicate PhACs>PCPs>Pesticides>Fatty acids>Hospital waste>Hormones>Pesticides>EDCs. In monsoon months due to surface runoff and high volume of untreated wastewater discharges few more OMPs concentrations were detected which mainly includes PhACs (clofibric acid, diclofenac sodium, gemfibrozil, ketoprofen), pesticides (aldrin, metribuzin, atrazine, simazine). Due to dilution effect in the monsoon months, average concentrations of 3-acetamido-5-bromobenzoic acid (PhACs) was reduced from 45.22 μg/L to 14.07 μg/L, whereas some EDCs such as 2,4- Di-tert-amylphenol, 3,5- di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, Triphenylphosphine oxide, Benzophenone were found in much higher concentrations in the monsoon months. Octamethyltrisiloxane (PCPs) was detected 50 times higher in concentration in the monsoon months. Interestingly, the concentration of about 50 % of the OMPs was more in the monsoon samples than in non-monsoon samples which is contrary to the general understanding that monsoon-induced dilution lowers the concentrations of OMPs. In RY water higher magnitude of diclofenac sodium, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, and clofibric acid was found than Europe and North America rivers. Hormones such as estriol and estrone in RY water are found 70 to 100 times higher than the maximum reported concentrations in the US streams. Finally, various OMPs responded differently to the monsoon season as evident from multivariate analyses.

[PMID: 36162586 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The occurrence of antibiotics such as erythromycin (ERY) under macrolide group, has long been acknowledged for negatively affecting ecosystems in freshwater environments. However, the effects of ERY on water quality and microbial communities in epiphytic biofilms are poorly understood. Here, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), High-throughput sequencing, and physicochemical analytical methods were employed to unravel the impact of ERY on the water quality and bacterial morphology, biodiversity, composition, interaction, and ecological function in epiphytic biofilms attached to Vallisneria natans and artificial plants in mesocosmic wetlands. The study showed that ERY exposure significantly impaired the nutrient removal capacity (TN, TP, and COD) and altered the epiphytic bacterial morphology of V. natans and artificial plants. ERY did not affect the bacterial α-diversity. Notwithstanding ERY decreased the bacterial composition, but the relative abundance of Proteobacteria and Patescibacteria spiked by 62.2 % and 54 %, respectively, in V. natans, while Desulfobacteria and Chloroflexi increased by 8.9 % and 11.2 %, respectively, in artificial plants. Notably, ERY disturbed the food web structure and metabolic pathways such as carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, energy metabolism, cofactor and vitamin metabolism, membrane transport, and signal transduction. This study revealed that ERY exposure disrupted the bacterial morphology, composition, interaction or food web structure, and metabolic functions in epiphytic biofilm. These data underlined that ERY negatively impacts epiphytic bacterial communities and nutrient removal in wetlands.

Salvinia molesta phytoremediation capacity as a nature-based solution to prevent harmful effects and accumulation of ciprofloxacin in Neotropical catfish.

Abstract
Phytoremediation has been a potential solution for the removal of pharmaceuticals from water. Here, we evaluated the toxicological safety of ciprofloxacin-contaminated water treated by 96 h with Salvinia molesta. The Neotropical catfish Rhamdia quelen was used as a model, and the potential of the phytoremediation technique for mitigating the drug accumulation in the fishes was also studied. Fish exposed to Cipro (1 and 10 µg·L-1) in untreated water showed toxic responses (alteration of hematological, genotoxicity, biochemical, and histopathological biomarkers) and accumulated Cipro in their muscles at concentrations high for human consumption (target hazardous quotient > 1). Fish exposed to water treated with S. molesta showed no toxic effect and no accumulation of Cipro in their tissues. This must be related to the fact that S. molesta removed up to 97% of Cipro from the water. The decrease in Cipro concentrations after water treatment with S. molesta not only prevented the toxic effects of Cipro on R. quelen fish but also prevented the antimicrobial accumulation in fish flesh, favouring safe consumption by humans. For the very first time, we showed the potential of phytoremediation as an efficiently nature-based solution to prevent environmental toxicological effects of antimicrobials to nontarget organisms such as fish and humans. The use of S. molesta for Cipro-removal from water is a green technology to be considered in the combat against antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
There is increasing scientific evidence that some pharmaceuticals are present in the marine ecosystems at concentrations that may cause adverse effects on the organisms that inhabit them. At present, there is still very little scientific literature on the (bio)accumulation of these compounds in different species, let alone on the relationship between the presence of these compounds and the adverse effects they produce. However, attempts have been made to optimize and validate analytical methods for the determination of residues of pharmaceuticals in marine biota by studying the stages of sample treatment, sample clean-up and subsequent analysis. The proposed bibliographic review includes a summary of the most commonly techniques, and its analytical features, proposed to determine pharmaceutical compounds in aquatic organisms at different levels of the trophic chain in the last 10 years.

Abstract
Quinolone antibiotics (QNs) pollution in lake environments is increasingly raising public concern due to their potential combined toxicity and associated risks. However, the spatiotemporal distribution and trophodynamics of QNs in transit-station lakes for water diversion are not well documented or understood. In this study, a comprehensive investigation of QNs in water, sediment, and aquatic fauna, including norfloxacin (NOR), ciprofloxacin (CIP), enrofloxacin (ENR), and ofloxacin (OFL), was conducted in Luoma Lake, a major transit station for the eastern route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in China. The target QNs were widely distributed in the water (∑QNs: 70.12 ± 62.79 ng/L) and sediment samples (∑QNs: 13.35 ± 10.78 ng/g dw) in both the non-diversion period (NDP) and the diversion period (DP), where NOR and ENR were predominant. All the QNs were detected in all biotic samples in DP (∑QNs: 80.04 ± 20.59 ng/g dw). The concentration of ∑QNs in the water in NDP was significantly higher than those in DP, whereas the concentration in the sediments in NDP was comparable to those in DP. ∑QNs in the water-sediment system exhibited decreasing trends from northwest (NW) to southeast (SE) in both periods; however, the Koc (organic carbon normalized partition coefficients) of individual QNs in DP sharply rose compared with those in NDP, which indicated that water diversion would alter the environmental fate of QNs in Luoma Lake. In DP, all QNs, excluding NOR, were all biodiluted across the food web; whereas their bioaccumulation potentials in the SE subregion were higher than those in the NW subregion, which was in contrast to the spatial distribution of their exposure concentrations. The estimated daily QN intakes via drinking water and aquatic products suggested that residents in the SE side were exposed to greater health risks, despite less aquatic pollution in the region.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIP) and enrofloxacin (ENR) are veterinary antibiotics commonly utilized to treat and prevent animal diseases. Environmental and dietary antibiotic residues can directly and indirectly affect the reproductive development of animals and humans. This article investigated the reproductive toxicity of CIP in male zebrafish, showing that it could decrease the spermatogonial weight and damage the spermatogonial tissue. The sex hormone assays showed that CIP decreased fshb and lhb gene expression and plasma testosterone (T). In addition, transcriptome analysis indicated that the effect of CIP on zebrafish might be related to the endocrine signaling pathways. ENR, which was selected for further study, inhibited mouse Leydig (TM3) and Sertoli (TM4) cell proliferation and caused cell cycle arrest. The sperm concentration, serum luteotropic hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and T levels decreased in adolescent mice after ENR treatment for 30d in vivo. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining showed that ENR exposure potentially induced testicular injury, while the real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) results indicated that ENR inhibited the mRNA expression of key genes in the Leydig cells (cyp11a1, 3β-HSD, and 17β-HSD), Sertoli cells (Inhbβ and Gdnf) and spermatogenic cells (Plzf, Stra8 and Dmc1). In conclusion, these findings indicated that ENR exposure might influence the development of the testes of pubescent mice.

Abstract
Until now, there is no bioaccumulation model to predict bioaccumulation of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in aquatic organisms due to their unique amphiphilic properties. For the first time, protein contents instead of lipid contents of organisms were used in bioaccumulation models to predict the concentrations and reveal the accumulation mechanisms of PFASs in various aquatic organisms, based on the available data. Comparison between the modeled and measured results indicated the models were promising to predict the PFAS concentrations in the fishes at different trophic levels very well, as well as their bioaccumulation factors (BAF) and trophic magnification factors (TMF) of PFASs in fish. Both water and sediment are important exposure sources of PFASs in aquatic organisms. As the two main uptake pathways, the contribution of gill respiratory decreases while that of dietary intake increases with the chain length of PFASs increasing. Fecal excretion and gill respiration are the main pathways for fish to eliminate PFASs, and their relative contributions increase and decrease respectively with chain length. The short-chain (C6-C8) perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are greatly eliminated via gill respiratory quickly, leading to their very low BAFs. As the carbon chain length increases, dietary intake becomes dominant in the uptake, while elimination is mainly through fecal excretion with relatively low rates, especially in the fishes with high protein contents. For the very long chain (C12-C16) PFASs, they are very difficult to excrete with a low total elimination rate constant (ke = 0.463-0.743 d-1), thus leading to their high BAFs and TMFs. The high intake rate but low elimination rate, as well as the high water and sediment concentrations together contribute to the highest accumulated concentration perfluorooctane sulfonic acid in the fish of Taihu Lake.

[PMID: 35752046 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2022] [Revised: 05/26/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollution caused by marine oil spills and antibiotic pollution caused by aquaculture industries were common environmental problems in the Yellow River Estuary, China. But few data are reported on the bioaccumulation and influencing factors of these two types of contaminants in aquaculture simultaneously. This study investigated the occurrence and bioaccumulation of PAHs and antibiotics in aquaculture areas of the Yellow River Estuary, and explored the factors affecting the bioaccumulation. 3-ring PAHs and fluoroquinolones were dominant contaminants in the study area. The concentrations of PAHs and antibiotics in lipid-rich tissues (fish viscus, shrimp head, and crab ovary) was higher than that in muscle. It indicated that the lipid content was an important factor affecting the bioaccumulation capacity. Physicochemical parameters (Kow and Dlipw) and the concentrations of PAHs or antibiotics also affected the bioaccumulation capacity of them. Meanwhile, biotransformation was a factor affecting the bioaccumulation of PAHs and antibiotics. The biotransformation (pyrene to 1-hydroxypyrene and enrofloxacin to ciprofloxacin) might explain the poor correlation between log bioaccumulation factor and log Kow/log Dlipw in fish. Risk assessment indicated that PAHs in mature aquatic products posed carcinogenic risks to human and enoxacin in sea cucumbers posed health risks to human.

Abstract
The occurrence of antibiotics and potential health risk of 300 cultured fish samples from 19 provinces in China were investigated. The levels of 28 antibiotics (15 fluoroquinolones, 4 tetracyclines, 8 macrolides and rifampin) in 8 fish species were measured through liquid chromatography electrospray tandem mass spectrometry. As a result, 10 antibiotics were detected with an overall detection frequency of 24.3%, and the individual detection frequency of antibiotics ranged from 0.33 to 16.7%. The extremely high concentrations (above 100 µg/kg) of doxycycline and erythromycin were found in the samples. Antibiotics with high detection frequency was noticed in largemouth bass (41.2%), followed by snakehead (34.4%) and bream (31.2%). Specifically, Heilongjiang, Xinjiang, Qinghai and Gansu presented high detection frequency values of more than 60%. Moreover, the highest mean concentration was observed in Shandong, and the concentration covered from 34.8 µg/kg to 410 µg/kg. Despite the high detection frequency and levels of antibiotics were found in samples, ingestion of cultured fish was not significantly related to human health risks in China, according to the calculated estimated daily intakes and hazard quotients. These results provided us the actual levels of antibiotics in cultured fish and human health risk assessment of consuming fishery products.

Abstract
It is significant to explore the advanced oxidation process (AOP) for antibiotic degradation. Herein, a peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator, Sr2FeO4/SBA-15 (SFS) heterogeneous catalyst, was synthesized by in situ growth of Sr2FeO4 on the surface of SBA-15. In SFS/PMS catalytic system, Sr atom provided electrons to Fe(II) ↔Fe(III) ↔Fe(II) redox cycle through Sr-O-Fe bonds for PMS activation. The SFS catalyst could activate PMS to generate a free radical coexistence system, including sulfate radical (SO4∙-) and hydroxyl radicals (∙OH). The catalyst possessed high catalytic activity and high stability. The degradation efficiency of sulfapyridine (SAD) over the SFS/PMS catalytic system could reach 99.0% after 90 min reaction. After the 5th reuse, the degradation efficiency of SAD was still more than 94.0%, and the phase structure of the catalyst did not alter. The low ion leaching concentration would be more conducive to reuse and avoiding secondary pollution, in comparison to homogeneous catalysts. This catalyst can be widely applied to organic wastewater treatment.-->.

Multidimensional impact of COVID-19 on our planet and society outweigh short term global pollution reduction. SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND SOCIETY 2022; 83:103962. [PMID: 35634350 PMCID: PMC9124372 DOI: 10.1016/j.scs.2022.103962] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2022] [Revised: 04/22/2022] [Accepted: 05/21/2022] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call on all nations to accomplish 17 broad global development goals by 2030. However, the COVID-19 pandemic presents a challenging period in human history, causing large-scale impacts on society and the environment as governments shift priorities and divert funding in response to this pandemic. Through a literature survey and data acquirement from various international organizations (e.g. United Nations and European Space Agency), this manuscript is intended to provide critical insights into the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the SDGs. We briefly describe this pandemic's positive and short-term effects on the environment, followed by a critical evaluation of its potential long-term impacts on the environment, society, and the SDGs. On the basis of COVID-19 effects, the SDGs are classified into three categories: directly-affected SDGs, indirectly-affected SDGs, and a stand-alone category. The COVID-19-induced lockdowns and restrictions resulted in a short-term decline in environmental pollution and greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, providing valuable data for climate advocates and researchers. These positive impacts were essentially temporary due to the synchronized global response to the pandemic. The halted focus on the progress of the SDGs greatly impacts the global green transition to a healthy and sustainable world. COVID-19 threatens to impede the progress toward a prosperous, environment-friendly, and sustainable global development in multiple ways. These multi-dimensional threats have been critically evaluated, along with a description of potential solutions to curtail the adverse effects of COVID-19 on the SDGs. Considering the limited data regarding the impacts of the pandemic on the SDGs, diverse collaborative studies at the regional and global levels are recommended.

Abstract
The residue levels of 6 quinolones in 160 cultured fish samples from Shandong Province, China were investigated using UPLC-MS/MS. The detection rate was 43.1% and enrofloxacin had the highest detection rate as well as the highest residue concentration. The violation rates were 2.50% for the sum of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin and 1.25% for ofloxacin. Among the 9 fish species, quinolone contamination problems should receive more attention in Carp, Grass carp, Crucian and Catfish. The health risk assessment showed that when calculated by the maximum concentration, the estimated daily intakes (EDIs) of Carp, Grass carp and Crucian for the high consumption group accounted for more than 10% of the acceptable daily intakes (ADIs), indicating that a large intake of these fish species might pose a potential health risk and health risk monitoring of quinolones in cultured fish should be continually performed.

Abstract
Bioaccumulation and trophic transfer of persistent legacy contaminants have been intensively characterized, but little is known on the contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in freshwater food webs. Herein, we comprehensively screened CECs with a focus on polar substances and further evaluated their trophic transfer behavior in selected items from the food web of Lake Templin, Germany. Weselected one plankton, two mussel, and nine fish samples covering three trophic levels. With an effective multi-residue sample preparation method and high-resolution mass spectrometry-based target, suspect, and non-target screening, we characterized 477 targets and further screened unknown features in complex biota matrices. Of the 477 targets, 145 were detected and quantified in at least one species (0.02-3640 ng/g, dry weight). Additionally, the suspect and non-target analysis with experimental mass spectra libraries and in silico techniques (MetFrag and SIRIUS4/CSI:FingerID) enabled further identification of 27 unknown compounds with 19 confirmed by reference standards. Overall, the detected compounds belong to a diverse group of chemicals, including 71 pharmaceuticals, 27 metabolites, 26 pesticides, 16 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), 4 plasticizers, 3 flame retardants, 11 other industrial chemicals and 14 others. Moreover, we determined the trophic magnification factor (TMF) of 34 polar CECs with >80% detection frequency, among which 6 PFASs including perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA), perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), perfluorotridecanoic acid (PFTrA), perfluorotetradecanoic acid (PFTeA), and perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFUnA), exhibited biomagnification potential (TMF =1.8 - 4.2, p < 0.05), whereas 5 pharmaceuticals (phenazone, progesterone, venlafaxine, levamisole, and lidocaine) and 1 personal care product metabolite (galaxolidone) showed biodilution potential (TMF = 0.4 - 0.6, p < 0.05).

Abstract
Antibiotics are increasingly detected in fish caught in ice-free waters, but information on fish caught in ice-sealed waters is insufficient. The concentrations of 23 antibiotics in the gills, muscles, kidneys, livers, biles, and brains of Cyprinus carpio and Hypophthalmichthys nobilis caught during winter fish-hunting activities in Chagan Lake, Haernao Reservoir, and Shitoukoumen Reservoir were systematically studied to ascertain the variations among fish species and fishing regions, tissue distribution, and bioaccumulation, as well as the potential risk to humans via the consumption of contaminated fish. The results indicated that the individual antibiotic concentration in tissues ranged from undetectable to 35.0 ng/g ww. The total antibiotic concentration in fish muscles from Shitoukoumen Reservoir was lower than that from Chagan Lake and Haernao Reservoir, but showed no significant difference between Cyprinus carpio and Hypophthalmichthys nobilis. Chloramphenicols had a high proportion in most fish tissues ranging from 28.3% to 44.0%, and the antibiotics were mainly distributed in the livers with a total concentration of 54.8 ± 9.9 ng/g ww. The mean values of bioaccumulation factors (BAF) of antibiotics in tissues ranged from 79.4 to 1000 L/kg, with the higher values found in the fish livers. The hazard quotient and hazard index value of antibiotics in the muscles of fish from ice-sealed were less than 1, indicating a negligible risk to human health via the consumption of fish muscles. This study revealed that the total antibiotic concentration in muscles showed spatial variations but not fish species-dependence. The antibiotics mainly accumulated in the livers. In addition, the target antibiotic concentrations in the muscles of fish from ice-sealed waters met the safe for consumption criteria.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical residues in the aquatic environment have increasingly attracted public concerns but their fingerprint of sources remain unclear at a watershed scale. This study systematically explored pharmaceutical residues in effluent of 8 different type of sources in a provincial watershed in China using a multi-category protocol of pharmaceutical quantification. Seventy-seven out of 94 target compounds from 6 categories were quantified in effluent, up to 71,318 ng L-1 in total from urban hospital sources with 20 antibiotics and 32 others. The spectrum of the quantified compounds in effluent significantly differentiated the urban (hospitals, domestic sewages, and WWTPs), rural (health centers and domestic sewages), and agricultural production sources (poultry and swine breeding yards, aquaculture ponds, and paddy fields). Compounds of non-steroidal anti-inflammation drugs (NSAIDs), cardiovascular drugs (CVs), and central nervous drugs (CNs) could fingerprint the three groups of sources. However, the three categories contributed 7 out of 10 compounds with high risk (risk quotient >1.0) to the aquatic environment identified by the eco-environmental risk assessment. No high-risk compounds were identified in effluent of urban WWTPs. Findings of this study suggest source identification and compound spectrum fingerprinting are crucial for studies on pharmaceutical residues in the aquatic environment, especially the complexity of pharmaceutical residues in source effluents for exploring source-sink dynamics at a watershed scale.

Abstract
Information on trophodynamics of antibiotics and subsequent relationships to antibiotic metabolism in river ecosystem is still unavailable, limiting the evaluation of their bioaccumulation and trophodynamics in aquatic food webs. In the present study, concentrations and relative abundance of 11 antibiotics were investigated in surface water, sediment and 22 aquatic taxa (e.g., fish, invertebrates and plankton) from Pearl River, South China. The logarithmic bioaccumulation factors (log BAFs) of antibiotics generally showed positive relationships with their log D (pH-adjusted log Kow), implying that their bioaccumulation of ionizable antibiotics depends on it is in an ionized form. Higher BAFs of antibiotics in benthic biota were observed than those in fish, indicating that sediment ingestion was a possible route of antibiotic exposure. The logarithmic biota-sediment accumulation factors (log BSAFs) of benthic biota increased when log D increased from -4.79 to -0.01, but declined thereafter. Trophodynamics of antibiotics was investigated, and intrinsic clearance were measured in liver microsomes of Tilapia zillii (trophic level [TL]: 2.5), Anabas testudineu (TL: 3.9), and Coilia grayi (TL: 5.0). Only ciprofloxacin (CFX) showed significant trophic magnification (Trophic Magnification Factor [TMF] = 1.95), and a higher metabolism rate in lower trophic levels suggest that metabolic biotransformation play a significant role in driving biomagnification of antibiotics.

Abstract
The extensive use of the broad-spectrum antibiotics like oxytetracycline (OTC) has become a serious environmental issue globally. OTC has profound negative effects on aquatic organisms including fishes. In this study, RNA-Seq analysis was employed to examine the possible molecular mechanism of hepatotoxicology in zebrafish induced by OTC exposure. Adult male zebrafish was exposed to 0, 5, 90, and 450 μg/L OTC for 3 weeks. The results showed the decrease in body weight and tail length but the increase in total length of zebrafish under OTC exposure in a dose-dependent way. In addition, severe histopathological damages were featured by increasing tissue vacuolization in the livers of 450 μg/L OTC group. Moreover, RNA-Seq analysis revealed that molecular signaling and functional pathways in the liver were disrupted by OTC exposure. Furthermore, the down-regulation of gene expression after OTC exposure was found on both the genes related to fatty acid degradation and the genes related to lipid synthesis. The present study implied that OTC induced liver malfunction and fish health risks through growth retard, histopathological damages, molecular signaling disruption, genetic expression alteration, and lipid metabolism disturbance.

Abstract
Antibiotics have become a global public concern due to the widespread presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes. This study investigated the spatial and seasonal variation of conventional water quality parameters and 10 selected antibiotics in rivers inflowing into Taihu Lake. The results showed that total nitrogen, as a pollution driver factor, varied with the seasons, and higher concentrations of pollutants were generally found in the dry season compared with the wet season. For antibiotics, seven of them were detected in surface waters (n = 66) with detection frequencies (DFs) of 1.52-100% and eight antibiotics with DFs of 2.56-100% in sediments (n = 39). Sulfamethoxazole (SMZ, median: 1.47 ng/L), trimethoprim (TMP, median: 0.35 ng/L), and roxithromycin (ROX, median: 0.47 ng/L) with 100% DFs followed by erythromycin (ERY, median: 0.56 ng/L) with a DF of 90.91% accounted for a median percentage of 44.54%, 9.08%, 20.42%, and 13.16% of the ΣABs concentrations in surface waters. In contrast, enrofloxacin (ENR, median: 0.54 ng/g) and ROX (median: 0.29 ng/g) with 100% DFs accounted for a median percentage of 58.21% and 31.71% of the ΣABs concentrations in sediments. Antibiotics in surface waters were mainly related to T, DO, TN and NH3-N, but were mainly related to T, pH and TN for antibiotics in sediments. Furthermore, most of the detected antibiotics showed higher concentrations and more species of antibiotics in winter than in summer or autumn. Similarly, the ecological risk values of antibiotics showed higher in winter than in the other two seasons, whereas the overall risk levels were considered acceptable.

Abstract
Feeding habitat and carbon source play critical roles in certain the trophic transfer and bioaccumulation ability of chemicals in aquatic ecosystems. However, it remains largely unknown how these factors affect the trophic magnification factors (TMFs) of antibiotics in lake ecosystem. This study compared the differences of TMFs for Quinolones (QNs) antibiotics and carbon/nitrogen sources between pelagic foodweb (PFW, 11 species) and benthic foodweb (BFW, 14 species) in Baiyangdian Lake, Northern China. δ13C showed higher values in BFW, while δ15N appeared higher values in PFW. The mean percentage of pelagic nitrogen source (PNS) was higher than benthic nitrogen source (BNS), while the mean percentages of pelagic carbon source (PCS) and benthic carbon source (BCS) were approximately equal. Relatively high concentrations of enrofloxacin (ENR), flumequine (FLU), norfloxacin (NOR), and ofloxacin (OFL) were detected, and the total concentrations of QNs were 27.73-126.4 ng/g dw in PFW, while 23.49-121.3 ng/g dw in BFW. ENR and NOR appeared trophic magnification, while FLU and OFL exhibited trophic dilution. The TMFs of these QNs in PFW were significantly higher than in BFW. The concentration of QNs in biological samples were significantly positive correlation with δ15N, while negative correlated with δ13C. The TMFs for FLU and OFL were positively correlated with PCS/PNS, while negatively correlated with BCS/BNS. The opposite was true for NOR and ENR. CAPSULE ABSTRACT: First studied the differences of TMFs for typical QNs and carbon/nitrogen sources between PFW and BFW in a shallow lake.

Abstract
With the continuous increase in shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) aquaculture production, the widespread use of antibiotics as a means of preventing and treating diseases has adversely affected the environment, animal health and symbiotic microorganisms in gut environments. At the same time, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are widespread in aquaculture and pose a great threat to aquatic organisms and humans. Therefore, in the present study, the occurrence and distribution of 17 antibiotics, ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were detected in the guts of shrimp collected from 12 coastal regions of China. The results showed that sulfadiazine, ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin were detectable in the guts of L. vannamei at all sampling sites. Sul1, sul2, floR and intI-1 were also detected in the guts of L. vannamei at all sampling sites. The total relative abundances of ARGs and MGEs were significantly positively correlated according to Pearson correlation analysis. Sulfonamide resistance genes (sul1 and sul2) were significantly positively correlated with intI-1. These results indicated that MGEs could increase the risk of horizontal gene transfer of ARGs in a gut environment. MGEs are the most important factors promoting the spread of ARGs. Correlation analysis showed that sulfadiazine was significantly positively correlated with sul1 and sul2 and that fluoroquinolone antibiotics were significantly positively correlated with floR, indicating that antibiotics could induce the production of ARGs. Network analysis indicated that Iamia and Alkaliphilus species may harbor the most antibiotic resistance genes, and these bacteria were closely related to the proliferation and spread of ARGs in a gut environment. Antibiotic use and the spread of ARGs in mariculture systems may have negative effects on shrimp and human health. The use of antibiotics should be strictly regulated to control contaminants in mariculture systems, including pathogens and ARGs, thereby reducing potential risks to human health.

Abstract
Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the aquatic environment have raised great concerns, as the deleterious effects of residual antibiotics and the emergence of ARGs are challenges to aquaculture. This study analyzed feed, water, sediment and prawns' tissues from six culture ponds (integrated culture: rice-prawn pond; monoculture: prawn pond) in Tianjin, Northeast China. Eighteen types of antibiotics were detected in all ponds, which conferring to four classes of antibiotics including sulfonamides, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, macrolides. The mean log bioaccumulation factor (BAF) values for five antibiotics were analyzed in the hepatopancreas, muscle, and plasma, and we found the maximum Log BAF (1.45) for enrofloxacin in prawn plasma. Correlation analysis of antibiotic concentrations between the plasma and the other two tissues indicated that enrofloxacin, norfloxacin, and erythromycin levels in the hepatopancreas and muscle can be predicted by their plasma concentrations. We also conducted a hazard quotient analysis and found that the risk to human health of eating antibiotic-exposed prawns from the two types of aquaculture method was relatively low. Compared with monoculture, rice-prawn co-culture could significantly decrease the abundance of ARGs; additionally, significant correlations were detected among ARGs, antibiotics, and non-antibiotic environmental factors (e.g., total nitrogen, total ammonia nitrogen, and chemical oxygen demand) in prawn. The present study indicated that the rice-prawn co-culture system is more effective than monoculture for mitigating the bioaccumulation of antibiotics and the occurrence of ARGs in prawn.

Abstract
Maricultured organisms are chronically exposed to water containing antibiotics but the bioaccumulative behavior of antibiotics in exposed organisms at different growth stages has received little attention. Here, we investigated the concentrations and tissue-specific bioaccumulation characteristics of 19 antibiotics during three growth stages (youth stage, growth stage, and adult stage) of various organisms (Scophthalmus maximus, Penaeus vannamei, Penaeus japonicus, and Apostichopus japonicus) cultivated in typical marine aquaculture regions, and explored the factors that could affect the bioaccumulation of antibiotics. Tetracyclines (TCs) and fluoroquinolones (FQs) were the dominant antibiotics in all organisms, and the total concentrations of the target antibiotics in fish (S. maximus) were significantly higher than those in shrimp (P. vannamei and P. japonicus) and sea cucumber (A. japonicus) (p < 0.01). The bioaccumulation capacity of a class of statistically significant antibiotics in most samples was strongest during the youth stage and weakest during the adult stage. The antibiotics exhibited higher bioaccumulation capacity in lipid-rich tissues (fish liver and shrimp head) or respiratory organs (fish gill) than muscle. Our results also reveal significant metabolic transformation of enrofloxacin in fish. Different from previous studies, the logarithm bioaccumulation factor (log BAF) was positively correlated with log Dlipw in low-biotransformation tissues (fish gill and muscle) rather than lipid-rich tissues (fish liver). Based on the calculated hazard quotients (HQ), doxycycline in fish muscle may pose a distinct risk to human health, which deserves special attention. Overall, these results provide insight into the bioaccumulation patterns of antibiotics during different growth stages and tissues of maricultured organisms.

Abstract
The fate of antibiotics and their impact on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and microbial communities are far from clear in wetlands. The fate and impact of tetracycline (TC) on the nutrient degradation of wetlands and epiphytic microbes were investigated. This study showed that after TC spiking, 99.7% of TC were removed from the surface water of wetlands containing Vallisneria spiralis within 4 days post-treatment. TC spiking impaired the nutrient removal capacity and disrupted epiphytic microbial community structure while enhancing the abundance of 11 ARGs subtypes, including tetracycline resistance genes, tetX, tetM, tetO, tetQ, tetS, and tet36. TC decreased bacterial biodiversity but amplified the relative abundance of Proteobacteria and Firmicutes by 4% and 61%, respectively, and increased eukaryotic diversity. 16 metabolic pathways including Carbohydrate, Energy, Amino acid, 'cofactor and vitamins' metabolisms were significantly (p < 0.01) increased in TC treatment. Phylogenetic, functional prediction analysis indicated that Flavobacterium was positively related with xenobiotics, cell motility, 'terpenoids and polyketides' metabolism but negatively related to nucleotide metabolism, while Rhodobacter showed a reverse trend but positively related with nucleotide and 'glycan biosynthesis' and metabolism. These data highlighted that TC has negative impacts on epiphytic microbial community and nutrients removal in wetlands.

Abstract
The presence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in aquatic environments is of increasing concern due to the presence of residues in fish and aquatic organisms, and emerging antibiotic resistance. Wastewater release is an important contributor to the presence of these compounds in aquatic ecosystems, where they may accumulate in food webs. The traditional environmental surveillance approach relies on the targeted analysis of specific compounds, but more suspect screening methods have been developed recently to allow for the identification of a variety of contaminants. In this study, a method based on QuEChERS extraction - using acetonitrile/water mixture as solvent and PSA/C18 for sample clean-up - was applied to identify pharmaceuticals and their metabolites in fish livers. Both target and suspect screening workflows were used and fish were sampled upstream and downstream of wastewater treatment plants from the Scioto River, Ohio (USA). The method performed well in terms of extraction of some target PPCPs, with recoveries generally above 90%, good repeatability (<20%), and linearity. Based on target analysis, lincomycin and sulfamethoxazole were two antibiotics identified in fish livers at average concentrations of 30.3 and 25.6 ng g-1 fresh weight, respectively. Using suspect screening, another antibiotic, azithromycin and an antidepressant metabolite, erythrohydrobupropion were identified (average concentrations: 27.8 and 13.8 ng g-1, respectively). The latter, reported, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time in fish livers, was also found at higher concentrations in fish livers sampled downstream vs. upstream. The higher frequency of detection for azithromycin in benthic feeding fish species (63%) as well as clusters identified between different foraging groups suggest that foraging behavior may be an important mechanism in the bioaccumulation of PPCPs. This study shows how suspect screening is effective in identifying new contaminants in fish livers, notably using differential analysis among different spatially distributed samples.

Abstract
River Yamuna is one of the major lifelines of Northern India. The study quantified 16 target compounds including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and hormones in the Yamuna river. Surface water samples were collected from 13 locations spanning 575 km along the river, and from two of its tributaries, Hindon river and Hindon canal. Spatiotemporal variations in the occurrence of the target compounds at the 13 sites during summer and post-monsoon season were investigated. Caffeine, estrone, gemfibrozil, sulfamethoxazole, testosterone and trimethoprim were found in all the samples, indicating substantial usage and/or persistence in the environment. The mean concentration of the target compounds ranged from 25.5 to 2187.5 ng/L. Higher concentrations were detected during the post monsoon, compared to the summer season. The highest concentration detected was of trimethoprim (8807.6 ng/L) during summer sampling, followed by caffeine (6489.9 ng/L) and gemfibrozil (2991 ng/L), during the post-monsoon sampling. The lowest concentration detected was of estrone (10.7 ng/L), during the summer sampling. The runoff from the catchment areas is one of the contributing factors for the increased concentration of the compounds during post monsoon. During summer, the river bed goes dry, facilitating the adsorption of the compounds onto the river bed sediments. The three sampling locations Okhla barrage (ponding of water from drains traversing Delhi), confluence of Yamuna with Shahadara drain (industrial and poultry cluster, and Ghazipur dumping yard) and Agra city (industrial clusters) were the hotspots in terms of total concentration of the target compounds. The study also reported the presence of PPCPs and hormones in the finished drinking water of two DWTPs at Mathura and Agra.

Abstract
Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are prevalent in estuarine and coastal environments due to substantial terrestrial input, aquaculture effluent, and sewage discharge. In this article, based on peer-reviewed papers, the sources, spatial patterns, driving factors, and environmental implications of antibiotics and ARGs in global estuarine and coastal environments are discussed. Riverine runoff, WWTPs, sewage discharge, and aquaculture, are responsible for the prevalence of antibiotics and ARGs. Geographically, pollution due to antibiotics in low- and middle-income countries is higher than that in high-income countries, and ARGs show remarkable latitudinal variations. The distribution of antibiotics is driven by antibiotic usage and environmental variables (heavy metals, nutrients, organic pollutants, etc.), while ARGs are affected by antibiotics residues, environmental variables, microbial communities, and mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Antibiotics and ARGs alter microbial communities and biogeochemical cycles, as well as pose threats to marine organisms and human health. Our results provide comprehensive insights into the transport and environmental behaviors of antibiotics and ARGs in global estuarine and coastal environments.

Development and Validation of an Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method to Determine Maduramicin in Crayfish ( Procambarus clarkii) and Evaluate Food Safety. Foods 2021; 10:foods10020301. [PMID: 33540848 PMCID: PMC7913001 DOI: 10.3390/foods10020301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2020] [Revised: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 01/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Maduramicin (MAD) is widely introduced into aquatic environments and results in the contamination of fish products. Worryingly, the consumption of MAD-contaminated crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) may induce symptoms of Haff disease. In this study, to monitor this potential contamination and to understand the residue and elimination characteristics of MAD in edible tissues of crayfish, a sensitive and efficient ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed, validated, and applied. After extraction with acetonitrile and purification by solid-phase extraction column, multiple-reaction monitoring mass spectrometry with positive ionization mode was used to determine MAD's residues. The limits of detection and of quantification were 6 μg·kg-1 and 20 μg·kg-1, respectively. The fortified recoveries ranged from 74.2% to 110.4%, with relative standard deviation of 1.2% to 10.1%. Furthermore, MAD was completely eliminated after 3 and 5 days from abdominal muscle and hepatopancreas tissues of crayfish, respectively. The maximum residue limits (MRLs) of MAD respectively was 200 μg·kg-1 in muscle and 600 μg·kg-1 in the hepatopancreas, and its withdrawal time in both edible tissues was 25.8 °C·d. Collectively, the results of this study indicate the proposed method is an efficient tool to evaluate the public health risk associated with crayfish consumption.
