The presence of pharmaceuticals in surface water and wastewater poses a threat to public health and has significant effects on the ecosystem. Since most wastewater treatment plants are ineffective at removing molecules efficiently, some pharmaceuticals enter aquatic ecosystems, thus creating issues such as antibiotic resistance and toxicity. This review summarizes the methods used for the removal of ceftriaxone antibiotics from aquatic environments. Ceftriaxone is one of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics in many countries, including Tanzania. Ceftriaxone has been reported to be less or not degraded in traditional wastewater treatment of domestic sewage. This has piqued the interest of researchers in the monitoring and removal of ceftriaxone from wastewater. Its removal from aqueous systems has been studied using a variety of methods which include physical, biological, and chemical processes. As a result, information about ceftriaxone has been gathered from many sources with the searched themes being ceftriaxone in wastewater, ceftriaxone analysis, and ceftriaxone removal or degradation. The methods studied have been highlighted and the opportunities for future research have been described.
地表水体和废水中存在的药物对公众健康构成威胁，并对生态系统产生重大影响。由于大多数污水处理厂在有效去除分子方面效率低下，一些药物进入水生生态系统，从而引发抗生素耐药性和毒性等问题。本综述总结了从水生环境中去除头孢曲松抗生素的方法。头孢曲松是包括坦桑尼亚在内的许多国家最常用的处方药之一。据报道，在生活污水的传统废水处理中，头孢曲松降解较少或未降解。这激发了研究人员对监测和去除废水中头孢曲松的兴趣。已经使用包括物理、生物和化学过程在内的多种方法研究了从水系统中去除头孢曲松的方法。因此，已从许多来源收集了有关头孢曲松的信息，搜索主题包括废水中的头孢曲松、头孢曲松分析以及头孢曲松的去除或降解。已强调了所研究的方法，并描述了未来研究的机会。
