“…After extraction, the organic solvent phase containing the analytes of interest is cleaned up again by adding an SPE sorbent (dispersive SPE, D-SPE) such as primary secondary amine (PSA) or C18, to remove interferences. Recently, some works for the determination of antimicrobial agents using this technique in environmental matrices have been published [30][31][32][33][34], including quinolones [31,34]. However, the extraction procedure led to low recoveries, which is indicative of the need of drastic extraction conditions.…”

“…Cerqueira et al (2014) developed a new version of the QuEChERS ™ method to evaluate the occurrence of pharmaceutical compounds and personal care products in drinking-water sludge using ultra high pressure liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Samples of sludge were collected after the flocculation step with aluminum sulfate at the CORSAN water facility in Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil and used as a soil conditioner.…”

A total of 43 papers published in 2014 were reviewed ranging from detailed descriptions of analytical methods, to fate and occurrence studies, to measuring and predicting biological effects for a wide variety of emerging contaminants likely to occur in agricultural environments. New methods and studies on veterinary pharmaceuticals, natural and synthetics steroids, and antibiotic resistance genes in agricultural environments continue to expand our knowledge base on the occurrence and potential impacts of these compounds. This review is divided into the following sections: Introduction, Analytical Methods, Occurrence and Fate, Antibiotic Resistance Genes, and Risk Assessment.

“…Chemical analysis: Biosolids, artificial soils, and earthworm tissues Biosolids were collected at a local WWTP (Quebec, Canada), and triclosan was extracted using a QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe)-based method (Cerqueira et al 2014). Briefly, 1 g (wet wt, $20% of dry wt) of biosolids was extracted by adding 1 mL of deionized water and 5 mL of acetonitrile in a 15-mL plastic tube and vortexed 30 s after each addition.…”

Municipal biosolids are increasingly used as a low-cost fertilizer in agricultural soil. Biosolids are contaminated by low concentrations (nanograms per gram dry wt range) of a large variety of organic contaminants, such as triclosan. The effect of exposure to low concentrations of organic contaminants on soil biota remains largely undocumented. We evaluated the sublethal effects of triclosan on the earthworm Eisenia andrei using an artificial soil amended with a nominal concentration of triclosan of 50 ng g dry weight soil. Using a 56-d reproduction test, we monitored the effect of triclosan exposure on adult earthworm survival, growth, and reproduction. The bioaccumulation of triclosan in earthworm tissue (adults and juveniles) and degradation of triclosan were monitored. The genotoxicity of triclosan was evaluated using a comet assay (DNA damage) on adult earthworm coelomocytes. Exposure to a low concentration of triclosan had no significant effects on adult earthworm survival and DNA damage but significantly stimulated growth (p < 0.05) by 2-fold compared with controls. It also significantly affected E. andrei reproduction parameters (p < 0.05), as evidenced by an increase in the number of cocoons and juveniles and a decrease in the mean dry weight of juveniles. The bioaccumulation of triclosan in earthworms was moderate (bioaccumulation factor ∼2). In biosolid-borne trials, the bioaccumulation of methyl-triclosan in earthworm tissues was higher than that of the parent compound triclosan. We conclude that exposure to low concentrations of triclosan in artificial soil can significantly affect the growth and reproductive performance of earthworms (i.e., E. andrei). More research is required with natural soils to assess triclosan bioavailability for earthworms. Environ Toxicol Chem 2018;37:1940-1948. © 2018 SETAC.
