Abstract
The Landfill plays an important role in urban development and waste disposal. However, landfill leachate may also bring more serious pollution and health risks to the surrounding groundwater environment. Compared with other areas, the area around the landfill needs more precise management. To solve this problem, based on the "pressure-state-response" framework, a method for the identification and evaluation of groundwater pollution around the landfill was constructed. The LPI method was used to assess the contamination potential of the leachate. The comprehensive quality of groundwater was evaluated by the entropy-AHP water quality assessment method, sodium adsorption ratio and sodium percentage. The probabilistic health risks of groundwater were assessed based on a Monte Carlo algorithm. The sources of pollutants were identified by comprehensively using the PCA-APCS-MLR model and the PMF model. Finally, the self-organizing map algorithm and the Kmeans algorithm were integrated to enhance the precision of groundwater management and control measures. The results showed that the leachate of the landfill was in the mature stage, and the concentration of inorganic substances was relatively high. Leachate had the potential to contaminate surrounding groundwater. The groundwater quality of 68.14% of the study area was in the poor or lower level. The groundwater near the landfill was unsuitable not only for drinking but also for irrigation purposes. Cl- was the main non-carcinogenic risk factor. Reducing pollutant concentration and controlling exposure time are effective strategies for mitigating health risks caused by high-concentration pollutants (Cl-, NO3-) and low-concentration pollutants (F-), respectively. The groundwater around the landfill was jointly affected by six pollution sources. The PMF model has better analytical ability in mixed pollution areas. The groundwater in the study area was divided into five clusters, of which cluster Ⅰ was significantly affected by leachate, and cluster Ⅴ had the lowest pollution and health risk.

Predicting leachate impact on groundwater using electrical conductivity and oxidation-reduction potential measurements: An empirical and theoretical approach. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 474:134733.

Abstract
This study developed innovative predictive models of groundwater pollution using in situ electrical conductivity (EC) and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) measurements at livestock carcass burial sites. Combined electrode analysis (EC and ORP) and machine learning techniques efficiently and accurately distinguished between leachate and background groundwater. Two models-empirical and theoretical-were constructed based on a supervised classification framework. The empirical model constructs a classifier with high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, utilizing the comprehensive in situ EC and ORP measurements. The theoretical model with only two end members achieves comparable performance by simulating the leachate-groundwater interactions using a geochemical mixing model. Besides enhancing the early detection capabilities, our approach considerably reduces the reliance on extensive hydrochemical analyses, thus streamlining the monitoring process. Moreover, the use of field parameters was found to proactively identify potential pollution incidents, enhancing the efficiency of groundwater monitoring strategies. Our approach is applicable to various waste disposal sites, indicating its extensive potential for environmental monitoring and management.

Abstract
The co-selective pressure of heavy metals is a contributor to the dissemination and persistence of antibiotic resistance genes in environmental reservoirs. The overlapping range of antibiotic and metal contamination and similarities in their resistance mechanisms point to an intertwined evolutionary history. Metal resistance genes are known to be genetically linked to antibiotic resistance genes, with plasmids, transposons, and integrons involved in the assembly and horizontal transfer of the resistance elements. Models of co-selection between metals and antibiotics have been proposed, however, the molecular aspects of these phenomena are in many cases not defined or quantified and the importance of specific metals, environments, bacterial taxa, mobile genetic elements, and other abiotic or biotic conditions are not clear. Co-resistance is often suggested as a dominant mechanism, but interpretations are beset with correlational bias. Proof of principle examples of cross-resistance and co-regulation has been described but more in-depth characterizations are needed, using methodologies that confirm the functional expression of resistance genes and that connect genes with specific bacterial hosts. Here, we comprehensively evaluate the recent evidence for different models of co-selection from pure culture and metagenomic studies in environmental contexts and we highlight outstanding questions.

Abstract
Landfill leachate is a hotspot in antibiotic resistance development. However, little is known about antibiotic resistome and host pathogens in leachate and their effects on surrounding groundwater. Here, metagenomic sequencing was used to explore profiles, host bacteria, environmental risks and influencing factors of antibiotic resistome in raw and treated leachate and surrounding groundwater of three landfills. Results showed detection of a total of 324 antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The ARGs conferring resistance to multidrug (8.8 %-25.7 %), aminoglycoside (13.1 %-39.2 %), sulfonamide (10.0 %-20.9 %), tetracycline (5.7 %-34.4 %) and macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin (MLS, 5.3 %-29.5 %) were dominant in raw leachate, while multidrug resistance genes were the major ARGs in treated leachate (64.1 %-83.0 %) and groundwater (28.7 %-76.6 %). Source tracking analysis suggests non-negligible influence of leachate on the ARGs in groundwater. The pathogens including Acinetobacter pittii, Pseudomonas stutzeri and P. alcaligenes were the major ARG-carrying hosts. Variance partitioning analysis indicates that the microbial community, abiotic variables and their interaction contributed most to the antibiotic resistance development. Our results shed light on the dissemination and driving mechanisms of ARGs from leachate to the groundwater, indicating that a comprehensive risk assessment and efficient treatment approaches are needed to deal with ARGs in landfill leachate and nearby groundwater. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: Antibiotic resistance genes are found abundant in the landfill sites, and these genes could be disseminated into groundwater via leaching of wastewater and infiltration of leachate. This results in deterioration of groundwater quality and human health risks posed by these ARGs and related pathogens. Thus measures should be taken to minimize potential negative impacts of landfills on the surrounding environment.

Improving antibiotic removal and anaerobic digestion performance of discarded cefradine pellets through thermo-alkaline pretreatment. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133394.

Abstract
Discarded cefradine pellets (DCP) as the hazardous wastes contain lots of bioavailable sucrose. Anaerobic digestion (AD) may be a promising technology for treating DCP, achieving dual goals of waste treatment and resource recovery. However, high concentration of cefradine will inhibit the AD process. This study applied thermo-alkaline pretreatment (TAP) to remove cefradine and improve the AD performance of DCP. Around 95% cefradine could be degraded to different intermediate degradation products (TPs) in TAP at optimal condition, and hydrolysis and hydrogenation were the main degradation pathways. Quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis indicated that the main TPs exhibited lower toxicity than cefradine, and DCP residues after TAP were almost not toxic to E. coli K12 and B. subtilis growth by antibacterial activity analysis. Therefore, TAP promoted the biomethane yield in AD of DCP residues (274.74 mL/g COD), which was 1.91 times that of control group. Besides, compared to control group, final cefradine concentrations in liquids and sludge were significantly decreased in AD system with TAP, lowering environmental risk and indicating stronger prospect for process application. Microbiological analysis revealed that acidogens (Macellibacteroides, Bacteroides), syntrophs (Syntrophobacter, Syntrophorhabdus), and acetoclastic Methanosaeta were enriched in AD system with TAP, which contributed to improving AD performance of DCP.

Abstract
Landfill is reservoir containing antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) that pose a threat to human life and health. Heavy metals impose lasting effects on ARGs. This review investigated and analyzed the distribution, composition, and abundance of heavy metals and ARGs in landfill. The abundance ranges of ARGs detected in refuse and leachate were similar. The composition of ARG varied with sampling depth in refuse. ARG in leachate varies with the distribution of ARG in the refuse. The ARG of sulI was associated with 11 metals (Co, Pb, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Sb, As, Cd, and Al). The effects of the total metal concentration on ARG abundance were masked by many factors. Low heavy metal concentrations showed positive effects on ARG diffusion; conversely, high heavy metal concentrations showed negative effects. Organic matter had a selective pressure effect on microorganisms and could provide energy for the diffusion of ARGs. Complexes of heavy metals and organic matter were common in landfill. Therefore, the hypothesis was proposed that organic matter and heavy metals have combined effects on the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of ARGs during landfill stabilization. This work provides a new basis to better understand the HGT of ARGs in landfill.

Abstract
Urbanization has increased the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) impacting urban aquatic ecosystems and threatening human health. However, an overview of the antibiotic resistome in artificial coastal lagoons formed by coastal seawall construction is unclear. This study investigated the resistome of sediment in a coastal lagoon, established for over 60 years and found that the composition of the resistome in the lagoon sediments associated with the seawall significantly differed from that of marine sediment external to the seawall. Moreover, the diversity, number, relative abundance, and absolute abundance of the antibiotic resistome in the lagoon sediments were significantly higher compared to marine sediment. Network analyses revealed that more co-occurrences were found in lagoon sediment between bacterial communities, ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) than in marine sediments, suggesting that bacteria in lagoon sediments may be associated with multiple antibiotic resistances. Random forest and structural equation models showed that an increase in the absolute abundance of MGEs had a concomitant effect on the absolute abundance and diversity of ARGs, whereas increasing salinity decreased the absolute abundance of ARGs. This study provides a basis to assess the risk of resistome diffusion and persistence in an artificial coastal lagoon.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 461:132446. [PMID: 37729713 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132446] [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: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023]
Abstract
Landfill leachates are complex mixtures containing very high concentrations of biodegradable and recalcitrant toxic compounds. Understanding the major contaminant components and microbial community signatures in global landfill leachates is crucial for timely decision-making regarding contaminant management and treatment. Therefore, this study analyzed leachate data from 318 landfill sites primarily used for municipal solid waste disposal, focusing on their chemical and microbiological characteristics. The most prevalent and dominant components in landfill leachates are the chemical oxygen demand (COD, 3.7-75.9 × 103 mg/L) and NH4+ (0.03-0.81 × 104 mg/L), followed by salt species such as SO42- (0.03-5.25 × 103 mg/L), Cl- (3.2-7.8 × 103 mg/L), K+ (0.58-4.20 × 103 mg/L), Na+ (1.3-13.0 × 103 mg/L) and Ca2+ (2.35-230.23 × 103 mg/L), which exhibit significant fluctuations. Heavy metals and metalloids are widely distributed in most landfill leachates but at relatively low concentrations (<182.8 mg/L) compared to conventional parameters. Importantly, there is a distinct global variation in the occurrence of emerging environmental contaminants (ECs). Among these compounds, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA, 0.02-7.50 × 103 μg/L) of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), bisphenol A (BPA, 0.01-33.46 × 103 μg/L) belonged to endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), together with di-ethyltoluamide (DEET, 1.0-1.0 × 103 μg/L) affiliated to pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are the most frequently detected in landfill leachates. Additionally, the microbial community compositions in most leachates are primarily dominated by Proteobacteria, Bacteroidota, Firmicutes, and Chloroflexi, and some of their abundances are correlated with the concentrations of NH4+, NO3-, Cl-, Na+ and Cr. Notably, the leading microbes driving advanced removal of inorganic nitrogen in the treatment systems are Candidatus Brocadia (anammox), denitrifying Thauera, nitrite-oxidizing bacteria Nitrospira, along with ammonia-oxidizing bacteria Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira. The findings of this work provide a deeper insight into the leachate characteristics and the sustainable management of landfill leachates, especially presenting a snapshot of the global distribution of pollutants and also the microbiome.

Abstract
Recently, the study of antibiotic resistance in the soil animal microbiome has attracted extensive attention; however, the patterns of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soil and soil animals related to different land use types remain poorly studied. In the present study, soil and earthworms were collected from four different land-use types (farmland, hospital, park land, and mountain park), and 162 ARGs in the microbiomes of the soil and earthworms were quantified using high-throughput quantitative PCR. Our study showed that the abundance and number of ARGs were higher in soil samples than in earthworm guts, but earthworms as the living organisms created relatively isolated ambient surroundings, which allowed for a more heterogeneous ARGs profile. Meanwhile, land use significantly influenced the abundance, number and co-occurrence pattern of ARGs in the soil and earthworm samples. Furthermore, abiotic and biotic factors had significant effects on the ARGs profile, among which pH had a negative effect on the ARGs profiles of both soil and earthworm microbiomes, and bacterial network complexity had a positive effect on the earthworm ARGs profile. Our study provides new insights into the distribution and dispersal of ARGs in the soil animal gut microbiome under different land use patterns.

Pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes during the landfill leachate treatment process: Occurrence, fate, and impact on groundwater. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 903:165925. [PMID: 37544439 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.165925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
Landfill leachate is an essential source of pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. However, information on the removal behavior of pathogens and ARGs during the leachate treatment and the impact on surrounding groundwater is limited. In this study, we investigated the effects of leachate treatment on the removal of pathogens and ARGs with metagenomic sequencing, as well as the impact of landfill effluent on groundwater. It is shown that the leachate treatment could not completely remove pathogens and ARGs. Twenty-nine additional pathogens and twenty-nine ARGs were newly identified in the landfill effluent. The relative abundance of pathogens and multiple antibiotic resistance genes decreased after ultrafiltration but relative abundance increased after reverse osmosis. In addition, the relative abundances of Acinetobacter baumannii, Erwinia amylovora, Escherichia coli, Fusarium graminearum, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Magnaporthe oryzae, as well as mdtH, VanZ, and blaOXA-53 increased significantly in the landfill effluent compared to the untreated leachate. The relative abundance of some mobile genetic elements (tniA, tniB, tnpA, istA, IS91) in leachate also increased after ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis. The size of pathogens, the size and properties of ARGs and mobile genetic elements, and the materials of ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis membranes may affect the removal effect of pathogens, ARGs and mobile genetic elements in leachate treatment process. Interestingly, the pathogens and ARGs in landfill effluent were transferred to groundwater according to SourceTracker. The ARGs, mobile genetic elements, and pathogens that are difficult to remove in the leachate treatment process, provide a reference for optimizing the leachate treatment process and improving the control of pathogens and ARGs. Furthermore, this study clarifies the effect of landfill leachate sources of pathogens and ARGs in groundwater.

The influence of combined treatment of municipal wastewater and landfill leachate on the spread of antibiotic resistance in the environment - A preliminary case study.

Abstract
Environmentally-friendly management of landfill leachate (LL) poses a challenge, and LL is usually co-treated with municipal wastewater in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The extent to which the co-treatment of LL and municipal wastewater influences the spread of antibiotic resistance (AR) in the environment has not been examined to date. Two WWTPs with similar wastewater composition and technology were studied. Landfill leachate was co-treated with wastewater in one of the studied WWTPs. Landfill leachate, untreated and treated wastewater from both WWTPs, and river water sampled upstream and downstream from the wastewater discharge point were analyzed. Physicochemical parameters, microbial diversity, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) abundance were investigated to determine the impact of LL co-treatment on chemical and microbiological contamination in the environment. Landfill leachate increased pollutant concentrations in untreated wastewater and river water. Cotreatment of LL and wastewater could affect the abundance and diversity of microbial communities and the interactions between microbial species. Co-treatment also decreased the stability of microbial co-occurrence networks in the examined samples. The mexF gene was identified as a potential marker of environmental pollution with LL. This is the first study to explore the impact of LL on the occurrence of AR determinants in wastewater and rivers receiving effluents.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 459:132096.

Abstract
Microplastic (MP) biofilms are hotspots of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in landfill environment. MP biofilms in landfill leachate coexist with heavy metals and metallic nanoparticles (NPs) that considered to be the selective agents of ARGs. However, the effects of these selective pressures on ARGs in MP biofilms and their differences in MP-surrounding leachate have not been well understood. Herein, the changes of ARG abundances in MP biofilms and corresponding leachate under zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs and zinc ion (Zn2+) pressures were comparatively analyzed. The presence of ZnO NPs and Zn2+ promoted the enrichment of ARGs in MP biofilms, and the enrichment was more pronounced in ZnO NPs groups. ZnO NPs and especially Zn2+ mainly decreased the abundances of ARGs in leachate. The increase of integron abundances and reactive oxygen species production in MP biofilms implied the enhanced potential for horizontal transfer of ARGs under ZnO NPs and Zn2+ pressures. Meanwhile, the co-occurrence pattern between ARGs and bacterial genera in MP biofilms with more diverse potential ARG hosts was more complex than in leachate, and the enrichment of ARG-hosting bacteria in MP biofilms under ZnO NPs and Zn2+ pressures supported the enrichment of ARGs.

Effects of co-selection of antibiotic-resistance and metal-resistance genes on antibiotic-resistance potency of environmental bacteria and related ecological risk factors.

Abstract
The inadequate elimination of micropollutants in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), cause to increase in the incidence of antibiotic resistant bacterial strains. Growth of microbial pathogens in WWTP is one of the serious public health problems. The widespread and simultaneous emergence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and heavy metal resistance genes (HMRGs) in the environment with heavy metals create persistent and selective pressure for co-selection of both genes on environmental microorganisms. Co-localization of ARGs and HMRGs on the same horizontal mobile genetic elements (MGEs) allows the spreading of numerous antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria in aquatic and terrestrial environment. The biofilm formation and colonization potential of environmental bacteria leads to the co-selection of multi-antibiotic resistance and multi-metal tolerance. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), co-localization of both ARGs and HMRGs on the same MGEs, and the shared resistomes are important bacteria-associated ecological risks factors, which reduce the effectiveness of antibiotics against bacterial infections.

Abstract
The distribution of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in water sources potentially threatens drinking water safety. However, the sources of antibiotic resistome in groundwater are still under-investigated. Here, we evaluated the profiles of antibiotic resistome in peri-urban groundwater and its associated water sources (river and mountain spring) to characterize the antibiotic resistome from natural water sources on groundwater resistome. A total of 261 antibiotic resistome were detected in groundwater, mountain spring, and river samples. The relative abundances of ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were significantly higher in the river samples than in spring water and groundwater samples. The resistome profiles were similar between groundwater and spring water but differed from the river samples. According to source tracking results, the groundwater resistome was likely to be derived from springs (28.0%-50.0%) and rivers (28.6%-48.6%), which share the same trend for the source tracking of bacterial communities. Bacterial α-diversity, bacterial β-diversity, and MGEs directly or indirectly affected the ARGs in groundwater samples. Although the abundance of groundwater resistome was not elevated by river and spring water, groundwater resistomes were diverse and may be derived from both river and spring water. We highlight the importance of groundwater resistome and its association with potential water sources, providing a better understanding and basis for the effective control of the ARG proliferation and dissemination in groundwater from exogenous water bodies in the future.
