“…Similar research from the Xiaodian Wastewater of Irrigation Area of Northern China found 15 antibiotics in groundwater samples, with antibiotic concentrations ranging from 2.75 to 114.38 ng/L (Li, Dong, Hu, & Wang, 2018). The issue of antibiotics pollution extends to Cluj-Napoca in Romania and its surrounding areas, which are near urban sites that are susceptible to seepage from municipal solid waste landfills, urban and hospital wastewater, as well as other agricultural activities.…”

This paper offers an extensive examination of studies published in the recent past and highlights the documented issues surrounding groundwater pollution, its sources, and distribution worldwide. The depletion of groundwater resources and the deteriorating overall quality present a significant cause for concern, particularly as a large human population relies on groundwater as a drinking water source. The review focuses on various factors contributing to groundwater pollution, including anthropogenic activities, hydro climatological influences, and natural processes. Special attention is given to organic contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides, and emerging pollutants, which have been found to have a substantial impact on groundwater quality. Additionally, the review covers pollution caused by inorganic pollutants like arsenic and other heavy metals, with a particular emphasis on regions experiencing a higher incidence of these contaminants in groundwater. Furthermore, the paper includes a compilation of studies that highlight the increased occurrence of waterborne illnesses resulting from fecal and microbial contamination, often caused by inadequate sanitary practices. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the global groundwater pollution problem, the review also encompasses an examination of contaminants like fluoride and nitrate.

“…Among these pathways, sewage irrigation has received a great deal of attention. At present, 15 antibiotics have been detected in the sewage irrigation area of Taiyuan, with a maximum concentration of 114.38 ng/L [74]. Studies have shown that sewage irrigation has input more types and quantities of antibiotics into groundwater than groundwater irrigation [75].…”

The problem of antibiotic contamination in the environment has attracted much attention in recent years. However, studies on antibiotic contamination in groundwater have only emerged in the last 15 years. In this study, we systematically reviewed the detection methods, distribution characteristics, risk, fate, and sources of antibiotics in groundwater in China, listed the concentrations of the main antibiotic types, and obtained the maximum concentrations by comparing the literature published in the last 10 years. The results show that 65 antibiotics were detected in groundwater in China, with sulfonamides and quinolones receiving the most attention. Antibiotic concentrations are influenced by hydrogeological conditions and seasonal variations, and the ecological risk in most areas is low to medium risk, which is relatively manageable. The highest concentrations found in most of the literatures were in the range of 10–1000 ng/L, but the maximum concentration can reach 47,444.5 ng/L, which requires extra attention. In addition, this study makes recommendations for improving groundwater monitoring surveys and protection measures to prevent the antibiotic contamination of groundwater more effectively.

Depletion of groundwater resources and continued decline in overall groundwater quality is a cause of concern because large human population around the world uses groundwater as a source of drinking water. This paper presents a comprehensive review of studies published in the year 2018 that documented issues of groundwater pollution, sources, and distribution reported from across the world due to anthropogenic, hydroclimatogical, and natural processes. Groundwater pollution due to organic contaminants focuses particularly on pesticides, herbicides, and contaminants of emerging concern. Pollution due to inorganic pollutants such as arsenic and other heavy metals is also reviewed with particular emphasis on regions that have reported a significantly higher incidence of these pollutants in groundwater. A compilation of various studies is also included in the review paper that showed increased incidences of waterborne illnesses due to fecal and microbial contamination due to poor sanitary practices. Reviews of groundwater contaminants such as fluoride and nitrate are included to provide readers a holistic understanding of groundwater pollution problem around the world.Practitioner points Groundwater pollution issues during 2018 are reviewed and documented. Occurrence of organic and inorganic pollutants in groundwater is reported. Groundwater pollution vulnerability remains a critical issue.
