“…The values of MEC, EC50, and AF are the same as in the individual HQ approaches Yao et al, 2017). The hazard was classified into high hazard (HQ N 1), medium hazard (0.1 b HQ b 1), and low hazard (0.01 b HQ b 0.1) (Hernando et al, 2006).…”

“…Therefore, only assessing the single antibiotic hazards through the HQ value may underestimate the ecological effects of antibiotics in the real environment (Backhaus and Faust, 2012;Yao et al, 2017). Hence, in this study, two models (MHQ MEC/PNEC and MHQ STU ) for evaluating the comprehensive hazard at each sampling site were introduced.…”

“…Due to their continuous input into the environment through numerous pollution sources and their degradation-resistant characteristics, antibiotics are regarded as a class of ubiquitous and "pseudo-persistent" contaminants in aquatic environments (Nödler et al, 2012;Yao et al, 2015). Numerous studies have reported the concentrations of antibiotics ranged from several ng per liter to hundreds of μg per liter in various environmental compartments, such as hospital sewage, municipal sewage, surface waters, groundwater, and seawater (Brown et al, 2006;Kümmerer, 2009;Chang et al, 2010;Rodriguez-Mozaz et al, 2015;Yao et al, 2015Yao et al, , 2017Chen et al, 2015a, b;Ngumba et al, 2016;Sui et al, 2017). The antibiotic burden in water can result in direct toxicity to animals (Wollenberger et al, 2000;Wang et al, 2014;Yan et al, 2016) and plants (Migliore et al, 2003;Pan and Chu, 2016), but more importantly, they can induce antibiotic-resistant bacteria or genes, which increase health and ecological hazards through food chains, even at low concentrations (Wellington et al, 2013;Ye et al, 2016;Sharma et al, 2016).…”

“…These high-intensive usages of antibiotics plus the relatively low sewage treatment rate may lead to a high contamination level in China in comparison with the other areas in the world . Thus, the antibiotic occurrence and ecological hazards evaluation in the surface waters in China has been of great concern (Jiang et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2015;Deng et al, 2016;Xu et al, 2016;Yao et al, 2017;Ma et al, 2017;Chen et al, 2017). However, these studies mainly focused on rivers; moreover, the antibiotic information on lakes in China is still limited, even with Lake Taihu, Chaohu, and Baiyangdian having been studied (Cheng et al, 2014;Xu et al, 2014;Tang et al, 2015).…”

“…The specific aims of this study are: (1) to discuss the temporal-spatial distribution of the selected antibiotics in Lake Honghu areas; (2) to analyze the sources of the antibiotics based on the correlations between environment variables and antibiotic concentrations; and (3) to assess the ecologic hazard of the antibiotics to the aquatic organisms according to the calculated hazard quotients (HQs) and mixture hazard quotients (MHQs) (Backhaus and Faust, 2012;Yao et al, 2017).…”

Certified rice–crayfish as an alternative farming modality in waterlogged land in the Jianghan Plain region of China

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A novel rice (Oryza sativa L.)-crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) (RC) farming model that originated in areas of waterlogged land in the Jianghan Plain has rapidly developed in rice-planting areas in recent years. However, whether RC farming can be employed as an alternative sustainable agricultural modality in waterlogged areas remains highly controversial. To that end, we conducted household surveys in Qianjiang, Jianli, and Honghu in the Chinese Province of Hubei where RC farming was first initiated in 2000. The results of this study suggest that RC farming offers a sustainable alternative to traditional rice-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (RW) and crayfish monoculture (CM) farming, as it enables farmers to fully leverage the natural ecological productivity of waterlogged rice fields. Evidence indicates that such RC farming is more sustainable than other farming practices from both an ecological and an economic perspective, and the adoption of this farming model has increased the income of local farmers by 9-48% while decreasing the use of nitrogen fertilizer, pesticides, and fishery drugs by 56, 75, and 58%, respectively. Our findings emphasize the importance of recognizing RC farming as an environmentally friendly and efficient approach to food production in the waterlogged land of Jianghan Plain.

During their production, use, and disposal, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are released into aquatic systems. Because they are biologically active molecules, APIs have the potential to adversely affect nontarget organisms. We used the results of a global monitoring study of 61 APIs alongside available ecotoxicological and pharmacological data to assess the potential ecotoxicological effects of APIs in rivers across the world. Approximately 43.5% (461 sites) of the 1052 sampling locations monitored across 104 countries in a recent global study had concentrations of APIs of concern based on apical, nonapical, and mode of action–related endpoints. Approximately 34.1% of the 137 sampling campaigns had at least one location where concentrations were of ecotoxicological concern. Twenty‐three APIs occurred at concentrations exceeding “safe” concentrations, including substances from the antidepressant, antimicrobial, antihistamine, β‐blocker, anticonvulsant, antihyperglycemic, antimalarial, antifungal, calcium channel blocker, benzodiazepine, painkiller, progestin, and lifestyle compound classes. At the most polluted sites, effects are predicted on different trophic levels and on different endpoint types. Overall, the results show that API pollution is a global problem that is likely negatively affecting the health of the world's rivers. To meet the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, work is urgently needed to tackle the problem and bring concentrations down to an acceptable level.
