3.6 Occurrence of Antibiotics in Asian Soil

From the sources discussed previously in this chapter, it is evident that antibiotics can end up in the soil, and finally via plant uptake, such chemicals may enter the food chain. Despite such existing sources, limited data is available on the level of antibiotics in Asian soil. Antibiotic levels in soil in China and Korea among Asian countries have been given in Table 3.5. All the tetracycline compounds showed highest range in Shenyang region, China. Agriculture, animal husbandry, and agricultural product processing units were dominant in north-eastern part of Shenyang city. Sulfonamide compounds also showed very high concentration in Shenyang city. Sulfonamides and tetracycline are the two antibiotics most commonly used to promote growth in livestock production. So it is evident that the high concentration of these two compounds in Shenyang city is due to the use of these two antibiotics in livestock production. As compared to China, the antibiotic concentration in Korean soil is less. This may be because, since 2005, South Korea is gradually decreasing the use of antibiotic growth promoters in livestock production.

3.7 Conclusion

Like several other organic pollutants, anitibiotics also reach soil mostly after partially treated or untreated antibiotics present in wastewater stream. Studies across the globe have reported the uptake of antibiotics by plants. The pathway of these pollutants generally depends on its physio-chemical properties. Studies have shown the development of antibiotic resistance genes in soil, plants, and humans. Further studies are required to find the fate of these pollutants in the environment and the associated risk due to the occurrence of these antibiotics in the environment.

The following tables have been added to the chapter:

Table 3.2 Physico-chemical properties and structure of antibiotics

Table 3.3 Antibiotics in the sludge from wastewater treatment plant used as manure

Table 3.4 Antibiotics from livestock excreta used as manure
