Abstract

In recent years, antibiotic pollution has become increasingly serious in China, and many kinds of antibiotics have been detected in river basins, soil and drinking water. How to control antibiotic pollution has become a social concern in the process of building ecological civilization. This paper introduces the current situation, sources and harms of antibiotic pollution and analyzes the current development status of antibiotic pollution treatment technologies in China, such as traditional treatment technology, new constructed wetland technology and phytoremediation technology, etc. Some suggestions on antibiotic pollution control were given from the aspects of relevant laws and regulations, the use of antibiotic treatment technology according to local conditions and the combination of multiple processes.

Highlights

With the steady advance of ecological civilization construction, China's environmental protection is gradually on the rise, and the focus of people's attention is gradually shifting from traditional pollutants to new pollutants
2.1 Current situation of antibiotic pollution in the environment In recent years, antibiotics have been detected in surface water, groundwater and even drinking water in China
When SRT reaches 30d, the removal effect of the reactor on six typical antibiotics can reach more than 84.4%, and the operation of aerobic membrane bioreactor (A/O-MBR) reactor under longer SRT conditions is less affected by HRT

Summary

Introduction

With the steady advance of ecological civilization construction, China's environmental protection is gradually on the rise, and the focus of people's attention is gradually shifting from traditional pollutants to new pollutants. The emergence of "Superbacteria" has pushed the problem of antibiotic pollution to the forefront and become a hot spot of social concern. The commonly used antibiotics are mostly synthetic or semi-synthetic compounds, mainly including sulfonamides, macrolides, quinolones and tetracyclines. China is a major producer and consumer of antibiotics. It uses 210,000 tons of antibiotics every year, accounting for about 1/5 of the world's total
