Abstract

In recent years, drugs have been classified as new pollutants, and an increasing attention has been paid in the field of environmental remediation. As an effective drug for treating diseases and promoting growth, antibiotics are widely used in medical, livestock and aquaculture. However, due to the improper use and excessive abuse, in addition to directly pollution to the environment caused by themselves, antibiotics also lead to the transmission of antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance gene, which threat aquatic growing in the natural environment and human health. Recent studies have found that antibiotics are retained in soil, wastewater and sludge, and the residual species are complex. Therefore, it is essential to explore the origin and the fate of antibiotics in the marine environment. The paper mainly introduced the current research status of antibiotics in coastal wetlands in China, and analyzed the potential ecological risks of antibiotics to marine and aquaculture environment so as to put forward countermeasures to reduce them.
