Toxicity of Single and Mixtures of Antibiotics to Cyanobacteria
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products including all human and veterinary drugs, are emerging contaminants of concern [1,2]. Among these pharmaceuticals and personal care products are antibiotics [3]. About 50 to 90% of antibiotics and/or their metabolites are eliminated from the body through urine and feces which then enter the environment through sewage treatment plants or organic fertilizers application to agricultural lands [4].

Assessment of the Risks of Mixtures of Major Use Veterinary Antibiotics in European Surface Waters.
Effects of single veterinary antibiotics on a range of aquatic organisms have been explored in many studies. In reality, surface waters will be exposed to mixtures of these substances. In this study, we present an approach for establishing risks of antibiotic mixtures to surface waters and illustrate this by assessing risks of mixtures of three major use antibiotics (trimethoprim, tylosin, and ...

متن کاملPredicting the long-term toxicity of five-antibiotic mixtures to Vibrio qinghaiensis sp. Q67.
Concentration addition (CA) is commonly used as a standard additive reference model to predict the short-term toxicity for most chemical mixtures. Whether CA can predict the long-term toxicity of antibiotic mixtures was investigated. The long-term toxicity of five antibiotics including apramycin sulfate, paromomycin sulfate, tetracycline hydrochloride, chloramphenicol and streptomycin sulfate a...
متن کاملHazard assessment for a pharmaceutical mixture detected in the upper Tennessee River using Daphnia magna
Widespread use of pharmaceuticals has resulted in mixture concentrations ranging from mg/L in effluent to µg/L concentrations in surface water. In a 2008 study, 13 pharmaceuticals, ranging in amounts from 0.0028 to 0.1757 µg/l, were identified in the Tennessee River, USA and its tributaries. In order to address the need for risk assessment of environmentally relevant pharmaceutical mixtures, <e...
