Abstract

Abstract

Occurrence of antibiotics in groundwater environment of major cities in China was explored based on the integration of the research results in recent 10 years, and the ecological risks and health risks of typical antibiotics were evaluated based on risk quotient method. The results showed that:1)in groundwater of major cities in China, a total of 57 types of antibiotics belonging to 7 categories were detected. Sulfa and quinolones were the main pollutants, with the most types in high cumulative concentration, followed by macrolides and tetracycline; 2) sulfamethoxazole, sulfathiazole and clindamycin had high ecological risk in groundwater environment. The combined ecological risk of groundwater antibiotics in northern cities was higher than that in southern cities, in which quinolone, sulfa and tetracycline were the three categories of antibiotics with high ecological risk rates and in the largest proportion contributing to the urban groundwater ecological risk;3) in the present, the investigated antibiotics did not appear to pose direct human health risk through drinking water based on health risk quotient method.
