CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 358:142193. [PMID: 38697562 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
Biochar has been utilized to reduce ciprofloxacin (CIP) residues in soil. However, little is known about the effect of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) on residual CIP transformation. Thus, we analyzed the residual soil CIP as influenced by biochar generated from rice straw (RS3 and RS6), pig manure (PM3 and PM6), and cockroach shell (CS3 and CS6) at 300 °C and 600 °C. The three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM), parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and two-dimensional correlation spectral analysis (2D-COS) were used to describe the potential variation in the DOM-CIP interaction. Compared with CK, biochar amendment increased the water-soluble CIP content by 160.7% (RS3), 55.2% (RS6), 534.1% (PM3), 277.5% (PM6), 1160.6% (CS3) and 703.9% (CS6), indicating that the biochar feedstock controlled the soil CIP release. The content of water-soluble CIP was positively correlated with the content of dissolved organic carbon (r = 0.922, p < 0.01) and dissolved organic nitrogen (r = 0.898, p < 0.01), suggesting that the major influence of the water-soluble CIP increase was DOM. The fluorescence quenching experiment showed that the interaction between DOM and CIP triggered static quenching and the creation of a DOM complex. The mean log K of protein-like material (4.977) was higher than that of terrestrial humus-like material (3.491), suggesting that the protein-like material complexed CIP was more stable than the humus-like material. Compared with pyrolysis at 300 °C, pyrolysis at 600 °C decreased the stability of the complex of protein-like material and CIP by 0.44 (RS), 1.689 (PM) and 0.548 (CS). This result suggested that the influence of temperature change was more profound on PM biochar-derived DOM than on RS and CS. These insights are essential for understanding CIP transportation in soil and controlling CIP contamination with biochar.

Abstract
Application of organic wastes as soil fertilizers represents an important route of agricultural soil contamination by antibiotics such as sulfamethoxazole (SMX). Soil contamination may be influenced by the storage time of organic wastes before soil spreading. The objective of this work was to study the fate of SMX in two organic wastes, a co-compost of green waste and sewage sludge and a bovine manure, which were stored between 0 and 28 days, then incorporated in an agricultural soil that has never received organic waste and monitored for 28 days under laboratory conditions. Organic wastes were spiked with 14C-labelled SMX at two concentrations (4.77 and 48.03 mg kg-1 dry organic waste). The fate of SMX in organic wastes and soil-organic waste mixtures was monitored through the distribution of radioactivity in the mineralised, available (2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin extracts), extractable (acetonitrile extracts) and non-extractable fractions. SMX dissipation in organic wastes, although partial, was due to i) incomplete degradation, which led to the formation of metabolites detected by high performance liquid chromatography, ii) weak adsorption and iii) formation of non-extractable residues. Such processes varied with the organic wastes, the manure promoting non-extractable residues, and the compost leading to an increase in extractable and non-extractable residues. Short storage does not lead to complete SMX elimination; thus, environmental contamination may occur after incorporating organic wastes into soil. After addition of organic wastes to the soil, SMX residues in the available fraction decreased quickly and were transferred to the extractable and mostly non-extractable fractions. The fate of SMX in the soil also depended on the organic wastes and on the prior storage time for manure. However the fate of SMX in the organic wastes and soil-organic waste mixtures was independent on the initial spiked concentration.

Abstract
Azithromycin (AZ) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) are commonly prescribed antibiotics frequently detected in municipal biosolids and identified by the USEPA as contaminants of emerging concern. The land application of municipal biosolids is an agronomically beneficial practice but is also a potential pathway of CIP and AZ release into the environment. Understanding retention-release behavior is crucial for assessing the environmental fate of and risks from land-applied biosolids-borne target antibiotics. Here, we used batch equilibrations to assess retention and release of environmentally relevant concentrations of CIP and AZ in ten different biosolids. The biosolids included Class A and Class B materials with a range of physiochemical characteristics (e.g. pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC), organic matter content (OM), and iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al)) expected to influence retention and release of AZ and CIP. Retention was linear (R2 > 0.99 for AZ and >0.96 for CIP) and sorption coefficients (Kd) ranged from 52 to 370 L kg-1 for AZ and 430-2300 L kg-1 for CIP. Desorption also varied but was highly hysteretic, with hysteresis coefficients (H) ranging 0.01 to 0.15 for AZ and ≤0.01 for CIP, suggesting limited bioaccessibility. The penalized and shrinkage method least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was used to produce models describing AZ and CIP sorption behavior based on any given biosolids physiochemical characteristics. Multiple linear regression analysis linked AZ sorption behavior to total Fe content, likely due to a predisposition of AZ to participate in reactions with in situ Fe species. CIP sorption behavior was linked to oxalate extractable Al and total phosphorus (P) content, suggesting CIP bonding with amorphous forms of Al and a potential relationship between CIP sorption to biosolids and biosolids production processes, as manifested by correlation of CIP sorption with total P content.

Abstract
By targeting essential cellular processes, antibiotics provoke metabolic perturbations and induce stress responses and genetic variation in bacteria. Here we review current knowledge of the mechanisms by which these molecules generate genetic instability. They include production of reactive oxygen species, as well as induction of the stress response regulons, which lead to enhancement of mutation and recombination rates and modulation of horizontal gene transfer. All these phenomena influence the evolution and spread of antibiotic resistance. The use of strategies to stop or decrease the generation of resistant variants is also discussed.

Abstract
The fate of antibiotics and their metabolites in soils after application of organic waste depends on their environmental availability, which depends on the quality and biodegradability of the added exogenous organic matter (EOM). This study aimed at better understanding the fate of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and N-acetyl-sulfamethoxazole (AcSMX) metabolite added to soils via sludge compost or cow manure application, during a 28-day incubation. Experimental results obtained for mineralized, extractable, and non-extractable fractions as well as EOM mineralization were used to couple SMX and AcSMX dynamics to the EOM evolution using the COP-Soil model. According to various mechanisms of extraction, CaCl2, EDTA and cyclodextrin solutions extracted contrasted available fractions (31-96% on day 0), resulting in different sets of parameter values in the model. CaCl2 extraction was the best method to assess the sulfonamide availability, leading to low relative root mean squared errors and best simulations of SMX and AcSMX dynamics. The decrease of SMX and AcSMX availability over time went with the formation of non-extractable residues, mostly of physicochemical origin. Using the COP-Soil model, the co-metabolism was assumed to be responsible for the formation of biogenic non-extractable residues and the low mineralization of SMX and AcSMX.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIP) and azithromycin (AZ) are commonly prescribed antibiotics for various infections in humans and are frequently detected in biosolids. Ecological and human health risks from biosolids-borne CIP and AZ are not well understood, but necessary for formulating policies on safe use and management of biosolids. A tiered integrated risk assessment (IRA), based on the World Health Organization (WHO) framework and the USEPA Part 503 Biosolids Rule, was conducted to assess human and ecological health risks from biosolids-borne CIP and AZ. The IRA utilized the hazard quotient (HQ) approach to evaluate risks to various receptors of concern (including humans, animals, and birds) in sixteen exposure pathways and three conservative biosolids land application scenarios. The scenarios consisted of (i) single-heavy (100 Mg ha-1) land application of biosolids containing 95th percentile concentrations of CIP or AZ (USEPA, 2009), (ii) long-term (annual for 40-y) land application of biosolids containing typical (median; USEPA, 2009) CIP or AZ concentrations, and (iii) long-term (annual for 40-y) land application of biosolids containing the 95th percentile concentrations of CIP or AZ. The unrealistically conservative screening level (Tier 1) assessment identified three pathways of potential concern: biosolids → soil → plant (CIP); biosolids → soil → soil organism (CIP and AZ); and biosolids → soil → soil organism → predator (CIP and AZ). Subsequent tier (refined; more realistic) assessments and pollutant limits (calculated based on the USEPA Part 503 Biosolids Rule) suggested negligible human and ecological health risks from biosolids-borne CIP and AZ under real-world biosolids application scenarios. Pollutant concentration limits were 12 mg CIP kg-1 and 2.2 mg AZ kg-1; suggesting that pollutant load tracking is not needed for the majority (75% for CIP and 90% for AZ) of USA biosolids. Biosolids-borne antibiotic resistance (currently not addressed in any risk assessment model) is the principal uncertainty limiting risk assessment of biosolids-borne antibiotics including CIP and AZ.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIP) and azithromycin (AZ) are commonly prescribed antibiotics, often found at elevated concentrations in treated sewage sludge (biosolids), and could pose human and ecological risks when land applied. Limited retention-release data preclude assessing potential risks from the target antibiotics in biosolids and biosolids-amended soils. The present work assessed sorption-desorption of CIP and AZ in biosolids and biosolids-amended soils using the "traditional" batch equilibration method. The batch equilibration method also included un-amended soils for comparison. Release potentials of the biosolids-borne antibiotics were assessed via multiple desorption equilibrations in the presence of CaCl2, soils, PbCl2, or competing antibiotic (CIP versus AZ) solutions. Desorption kinetics of CIP from biosolids were also evaluated by the diffusive gradient in thin films technique (DGT), coupled with a diffusion transport-exchange model available in 2D-DIFs. Sorption of both antibiotics followed linear models with partitioning coefficient (Kd) values for CIP ranging between 40 and 334 L kg-1 in soils and 357 L kg-1 in biosolids, and values for AZ ranging between 11 and 202 L kg-1 in soils and 428 L kg-1 in biosolids. Antibiotic desorption from the biosolids was highly hysteretic (hysteresis coefficients < 0.003) and desorption of the biosolids-borne chemicals was extremely small (<3%) using any of the various desorption equilibration approaches. Desorption was hysteric in soils too; where desorption percentages were 4, 5, and 26% for CIP and 6, 32, and 50% for AZ in the silt loam soil, manured sand, and sand, respectively. CIP release from biosolids determined by DGT was also small (<1%), ascribed to low dissolved and labile concentrations in the solid phase and a small effective diffusion coefficient. Results obtained using equilibrium and dynamic approaches suggest that the target antibiotic bioaccessibilities from biosolids and finer-textured (typical agricultural) soils would be minimal and that biosolids (not soils) control desorption of the two biosolids-borne chemicals.

Abstract
As the human population grows and continues to encroach on the natural environment, organisms that form part of such ecosystems are becoming increasingly exposed to exogenous anthropogenic factors capable of changing their meiotic landscape. Meiotic recombination generates much of the genetic variation in sexually reproducing species and is known to be a highly conserved pathway. Environmental stresses, such as variations in temperature, have long been known to change the pattern of recombination in both model and crop plants, but there are other factors capable of causing genome damage, infertility and meiotic abnormalities. Our agrarian expansion and our increasing usage of agrochemicals unintentionally affect plants via groundwater contamination or spray drift; our industrial developments release heavy metals into the environment; pathogens are spread by climate change and a globally mobile population; imperfect waste treatment plants are unable to remove chemical and pharmaceutical residues from sewage leading to the release of xenobiotics, all with potentially deleterious meiotic effects. In this review, we discuss the major classes of exogenous anthropogenic factors known to affect meiosis in plants, namely environmental stresses, agricultural inputs, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals and pathogens. The possible evolutionary fate of plants thrust into their new anthropogenically imposed environments are also considered.

Abstract
Antibiotics are frequently introduced into agricultural soils with the application of sewage sludge or farm organic fertilizers. Repeated exposure of soils to a pollutant can enrich for microbial populations that metabolize the chemical, reducing its environmental persistence. In London, Canada, soils from a long-term field experiment have received different concentrations of antibiotics annually for several years. The purpose of the present study was to assess the bioavailability of sulfamethazine, erythromycin, or ciprofloxacin through aqueous extractions with borax or EDTA solutions and their biodegradation following different soil exposure scenarios. Control soils and soils treated annually in the field with 10 mg antibiotics per kg were sampled, supplemented in the laboratory with radiolabeled antibiotic either added directly or carried in dairy manure. Sulfamethazine and erythromycin were initially more bioavailable than ciprofloxacin, with aqueous extractabilities representing 60, 36, and 8%, respectively. Sulfamethazine and erythromycin were degraded in soils, with a larger fraction mineralized in the long-term exposed soil (20 and 65%, respectively) than in control soil (0.4 and 3%, respectively) after 7 days of incubation. In contrast, ciprofloxacin was not mineralized neither in control nor long-term exposed soils. The mineralized fractions were similar for antibiotics added directly to soil or carried in dairy manure.

Abstract
Spreading organic waste products (OWP) issued from sewage sludge or manures into soil may disseminate antibiotics with unknown risks for human health and environment. Our objectives were to compare the fate of two sulfonamides, sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and its metabolite N-acetyl-sulfamethoxazole (N-ac-SMX), and one fluoroquinolone, ciprofloxacin (CIP), in an unamended soil, and two soils regularly amended since 1998 with a sewage sludge and green waste compost and with farmyard manure respectively. Incubations of soil spiked with 14C labelled SMX or N-ac-SMX (0.02 mg kg-1) or CIP (0.15 mg kg-1) allowed a quantification of radiolabeled molecules in the mineralized, easily, hardly and non-extractable fractions after 3 and 156 days. Nature of 14C molecules was also analyzed by HPLC in extractable fractions after 3 and 156 days. SMX and N-ac-SMX dissipation was fast and due to i) mineralization (∼10% of recovered 14C after 156 days) or incomplete degradation (production of metabolites), ii) adsorption, even if both sulfonamides present low Kd (<3 L kg-1) and iii) formation of non-extractable residues (NER), representing more than 50% of recovered radioactivity. N-ac-SMX was more mineralized than SMX, and formed more progressively NER, after a step of deacetylation. Adsorption of CIP was fast and formed mainly NER (>72%) whereas its mineralization was negligible. Repeated applications of OWP tend to enhance adsorption of antibiotics and lower their degradation, through the quantity and quality of the built up soil organic matter. If applications of sewage sludge compost favor adsorption and inhibit mineralization, applications of manure boost the formation of non-extractable residues.

Abstract
The recycling of biosolids and livestock manure in agriculture may lead to the introduction of antibiotic residues, i.e., parent molecule and transformation products, into amended soils. Their fate in soils can be approached through the assessment of their environmental availability. In this work, the environmental availability of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and three transformation products (N4-acetyl-SMX, 3-amino-5-methylisoxazole, aniline) was assessed in soils amended with sludge compost or cow manure throughout a three-month incubation, using soft extractions with CaCl2, EDTA or cyclodextrin solutions. First, the freeze-storage of soil samples was shown to decrease the SMX extractability. The SMX extractability depended on the initial concentration, the amendment type and the extracting solution at day 0. From 1.9% up to 63% of the SMX total content was initially extractable. The lowest fractions were quantified in EDTA extracts in which the dissolved organic matter was the most complex and responsible for high matrix effects in mass spectrometry compared to CaCl2 extracts. The purification of cyclodextrin extracts highly reduced the matrix effects, but CaCl2 was considered as the most suitable extractant. SMX extractability strongly decreased after the first 8days of incubation to finally reach 0.4-0.8% after 84days, whatever the initial conditions. This high decrease could be related to humification observed through the increasing complexity of extracted dissolved organic matter. Very low levels of transformation products were quantified throughout the incubation period. The low environmental availability of SMX was mainly due to its sorption on soil organic matter and resulted in its low biotransformation in these amended soils.
