Abstract:

The abuse of antibiotics has been contributing to ecological issues globally. Identifying the pollution distribution and risk levels of antibiotics in sediments and soils has important theoretical significance for understand the migration and transformation in complex environment media, risk management and control of antibiotics. Based on a comprehensive literature study, 13 types of antibiotics in 4 categories were screened out. The monitoring data of antibiotics in sediments and soils in the four regions south of the Hu Huanyong line in China was extracted and integrated from the literature to analyze the levels and the spatial distribution of antibiotics. The principal component analysis (PCA) was used for source analysis, and its ecological risk was evaluated. The results showed that the average levels of antibiotics in sediment and soil were 1.28 and 1.48 mg∙kg-1, respectively, which were higher than the threshold of the ecological toxic effects of antibiotics in the soil. The distribution of antibiotics in sediment and soil exhibited obvious regional characteristics. The areas with the highest pollution levels were North China and East China. Tetracycline was the antibiotics with the highest level in sediment and soil. The PCA results showed that the levels of antibiotics in sediment and soil were affected by three sources. The discharge of domestic sewage and pharmaceutical wastewater exerted the greatest impact on the antibiotics in the sediment, with a relative contribution rate of 60.01%. The antibiotics in the soil originated from sewage irrigation, the application of sludge and livestock manure, and other activities, the cumulative contribution rate being 77.9%. Risk assessment results indicated that the ecological risk of most antibiotics in the four regions was at a low-risk level, and tetracycline antibiotics were at relatively high risk levels in all regions. The Risk Quotients of oxytetracycline in the sediment were the highest, and the chlortetracycline and ofloxacin in soils were at a high/medium-risk level. Except in North China, the combined ecological risks of antibiotics in sediments in other regions were lower than that in soils.

摘要:

抗生素大量滥用已逐渐引起全球性生态问题,研究沉积物和土壤抗生素的污染分布及生态风险,对理解抗生素在复杂环境介质中的迁移转化及其风险管理和控制具有重要的理论意义。基于全面的文献研究,筛选出4大类共13种抗生素作为研究对象,整合从文献中提取的中国胡焕庸线下方四区域中沉积物和土壤中抗生素的监测数据成果,分析其污染水平、空间分布特征,采用主成分分析法(PCA)进行源解析,并评价了其生态风险。研究结果表明,研究区域内沉积物和土壤中抗生素的平均含量分别为1.28 mg∙kg-1和1.48 mg∙kg-1,均高于土壤中抗生素生态毒害效应的阈值。沉积物和土壤中抗生素的分布具有明显的地域特征,污染水平最高的区域分别为华北和华东地区,四环素类抗生素是两种环境介质中污染量最高的抗生素。PCA解析结果表明沉积物和土壤中的抗生素水平分别受3种来源的共同影响,其中,生活污水及制药废水排放对沉积物中抗生素影响最大,相对贡献率为60.01%,土壤抗生素来自污水灌溉、污泥及畜禽粪肥施用等活动,累积贡献率为77.9%。风险评价结果表明研究区域内大部分抗生素的生态风险处于低风险水平,四环素类抗生素在各区域都具有相对较高的风险水平。沉积物中土霉素的风险熵值最高,土壤中金霉素和氧氟沙星处于高/中等风险水平。除华北区域外,其余区域沉积物中抗生素的联合生态风险均低于土壤。
