“…In majority of methods the sample pH was adjusted to acidic values in order to obtain required chemical form of analytes. In some cases, pH was adjusted to high values, especially when MLs were included [22,23,[25][26][27].…”

“…In majority of multiresidue studies, the sample pH was adjusted in pH range 2.5-4 by sulphuric or hydrochloric acid. Some authors used sample of pH 6.0 or higher usually when MLs were included in the study together with other antibiotics or pharmaceuticals [22][23][24][25][26][27]. In some studies the best SPE recoveries were reported with no sample pH adjustment [28].…”

a b s t r a c tThe widespread occurrence of antibiotics as contaminants in the aquatic environment has increased attention in the last years. The concern over the release of antibiotics into the environment is related primarily to the potential for the development of antimicrobial resistance among microorganisms. This article presents an overview of analytical methodologies for the determination of quinolone (Qs) and fluoroquinolone (FQs), macrolide (MLs), tetracycline (TCs), sulfonamide (SAs) antibiotics and trimethoprim (TMP) in different environmental waters. The analysis of these antibiotics has usually been carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) or tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and to a lesser extent by ultraviolet (UV) or fluorescence detection (FD). A very important step before LC analysis is sample preparation and extraction leading to elimination of interferences and prevention of matrix effect and preconcentration of target analytes.

“…Many antibiotics have been detected in large quantities in treated sewage and in surface water receiving effluents (Spongberg and Witter 2008). Antibiotics represent an emerging environmental problem due to their disposal into the aquatic ecosystem, even at minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and increasing of microbial resistance that has occurred as one of the eminent public health concerns of the twenty-first century (Klavarioti et al 2009: Velickovic-Radovanovic et al 2009).…”

Removal of pathogenic bacteria from sewage-treated effluent and biosolids for agricultural purposes

The reuse of treated sewage for irrigation is considered as an important alternative water source in the new water management strategy of the countries that face a severe deficiency of water resources such as the Middle East countries. The organic material and fertilizing elements contained in biosolids are essential for maintaining soil fertility. However, both treated sewage and biosolids contain a large diversity of pathogens that would be transmitted to the environment and infect human directly or indirectly. Therefore, those pathogens should be reduced from the treated sewage and biosolids before the reuse in the agriculture. This paper reviews the considerations for reuse of treated sewage and biosolids in agriculture and further treatments used for reduction of pathogenic bacteria. The treatment methods used for the reduction of pathogens in these wastes have reviewed. It appeared that the main concern associated with the reduction of pathogenic bacteria lies in their ability to regrow in the treated sewage and biosolids. Therefore, the effective treatment method is that it has the potential to destruct pathogens cells and remove the nutrients to prevent the regrowth or recontamination from the surrounded environment. The removal of nutrients might be applicable in the sewage but not in the biosolids due to high nutrient contents. However, the reduction of health risk in the biosolids might be carried out by regulating the biosolid utilization and selecting the plant species grown in the fertilized soil with biosolids.

“…Much of the anammox process understanding developed from various commercial applications designed to exploit the capability of anammox bacteria [58][59][60][61]. Many of these systems involve optimization of a two-step process in which the first reactor or system employs partial nitritation of the available ammonia to nitrite to achieve the 'optimal' 1.2:1 nitrite to ammonia ratio feedstock for the second anammox reactor step converting these to nitrogen gas.…”
