Abstract

Introduction

The dissemination of emerging pollutants in the environment is a growing global issue. Among them, antibiotics pose a major risk due to their persistence and their ability to select for resistant strains. Hospital effluents represent a direct and concentrated source of contamination, with a wide variety of antibiotics detected. Their presence leads to Eco toxicological risks and contributes to the spread of antibiotic resistance.


Conclusion and Perspectives

  1. Continuous Improvement of Wastewater Treatment
  2. Extended monitoring through the implementation of stricter standards intends to limit the concentration of antibiotic residues present in wastewater
  3. Assessment of Risks to the Environment and Public Health
