“…Cellulose and chitin are the most abundant biopolymer polysaccharides in the environment. Cellulose exposed hydroxyl and reduced and nonreduced end groups, facilitating reactivity with pollutants, is mostly found in plant cell walls, but bacteria and algae also biosynthesize cellulose ( Sayen et al, 2018 ; Tao et al, 2020 ; Juela, 2021 ). Decontamination preparations using cellulose derivatives adsorb a variety of antibiotics, such as tetracyclines, quinolones, sulfonamides, chloramphenicol, beta-lactams, and macrolides (in order from higher to lower absorption; Yao et al, 2017 ).…”

The extended concept of one health integrates biological, geological, and chemical (bio-geo-chemical) components. Anthropogenic antibiotics are constantly and increasingly released into the soil and water environments. The fate of these drugs in the thin Earth space (“critical zone”) where the biosphere is placed determines the effect of antimicrobial agents on the microbiosphere, which can potentially alter the composition of the ecosystem and lead to the selection of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms including animal and human pathogens. However, soil and water environments are highly heterogeneous in their local composition; thus the permanence and activity of antibiotics. This is a case of “molecular ecology”: antibiotic molecules are adsorbed and eventually inactivated by interacting with biotic and abiotic molecules that are present at different concentrations in different places. There are poorly explored aspects of the pharmacodynamics (PD, biological action) and pharmacokinetics (PK, rates of decay) of antibiotics in water and soil environments. In this review, we explore the various biotic and abiotic factors contributing to antibiotic detoxification in the environment. These factors range from spontaneous degradation to the detoxifying effects produced by clay minerals (forming geochemical platforms with degradative reactions influenced by light, metals, or pH), charcoal, natural organic matter (including cellulose and chitin), biodegradation by bacterial populations and complex bacterial consortia (including “bacterial subsistence”; in other words, microbes taking antibiotics as nutrients), by planktonic microalgae, fungi, plant removal and degradation, or sequestration by living and dead cells (necrobiome detoxification). Many of these processes occur in particulated material where bacteria from various origins (microbiota coalescence) might also attach (microbiotic particles), thereby determining the antibiotic environmental PK/PD and influencing the local selection of antibiotic resistant bacteria. The exploration of this complex field requires a multidisciplinary effort in developing the molecular ecology of antibiotics, but could result in a much more precise determination of the one health hazards of antibiotic production and release.

“…Many studies have focused on the utilization of waste-to-resource strategies to manufacture an efficient catalyst for environmental remediation using agricultural and industrial wastes as a raw material. 23 Electronic waste disposal and reuse have become a major global concern. Thus, the utilization electronic waste materials for synthesis of efficient and low-cost catalyst to reduce environmental impact have reported as global interest in many researches.…”

“…The prevalence of AMR has been attributed to many factors (Puvača et al, 2022), but the work of Jury et al (2011) and Rodríguez-Molina et al (2019) have conjectured that wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) may pose a potential rich breeding ground for the pathogens. A review of EU CD91/271/EEC (1998) denotes no stated limits or treatment standards for the removal of antibiotics.…”

“…Sewage is a fertile breeding and collecting ground for pathogens and antibiotics. Therein, their metabolites and bacterial interactions cause the more virulent bacteria to thrive, thereby diminishing the effectiveness of antibiotics against these microorganisms (Jury et al, 2011). Furthermore, the effect of climate change is expected to dramatically alter storm patterns, creating significant variations in discharge patterns of untreated wastewater through combined sewer overflows and storm overflow discharges (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2022).…”

Emerging contaminants are becoming a significant challenge for modern society. Antibiotic resistance is notably among the most urgent public health concerns, and it is well recognised that the problem often originates from wastewater treatment facilities. In developed countries, where affordable and specified, activated carbon can be used as an efficient adsorbent of antibiotic residues present in wastewaters. However, this method is associated with high production and reactivation costs and has a significant carbon footprint. Research at Ulster University proposes a more sustainable and cost-effective solution to this problem. The technique involves the application of modified sawdust waste to treated effluent, reducing tertiary antibiotic contamination. The sawdust used in the current study was from two sources: ash or a mixture of tree species. These materials, in unmodified and modified forms, were applied as the adsorbents in model systems containing vancomycin (antibiotic) dissolved in distilled water at concentrations ranging between 30 and 150 mg/L. It was found that such adsorbents are highly efficient at removing vancomycin from contaminated waters. Antibiotic removal levels reached 63.0% (σ = 2.3%) for the modified mixed sawdust and 56.6% (σ = 5.1%) for the modified ash sawdust. Post-treatment, the sawdust can undergo a thermal conversion for energy production. The preliminary findings of this scoping work indicate the feasibility of converting sawdust waste into a novel means for wastewater treatment systems capable of dealing with antibiotic pollutants. The simplicity of the method offers many developing and developed economies, a sustainable means of managing this dangerous emerging problem.
