During the last decades, the growth of concern towards different pollutants has been increasing due to population activities in large cities and the great need for food production by the agri-food industry. The effects observed in specific locations have shown the impact over the environment in air, soil and water. Specifically, the current pandemic of COVID-19 has brought into the picture the intensive use of different medical substances to treat the disease and population intensive misuse. In particular, the use of antibiotics has increased during the last 20 years with few regulations regarding their excessive use and the disposal of their residues from different sources. Within this review, an overview of sources of antibiotics to aquatic environments was done along with its impact to the environment and trophic chain, and negative effects of human health due prolonged exposure which endanger the environment, population health, water, and food sustainability. The revision indicates the differences between sources and its potential danger due toxicity, and accumulation that prevents water sustainability in the long run.
在过去几十年里，由于大城市中的人口活动以及农业食品行业对粮食生产的巨大需求，人们对不同污染物的关注度不断上升。在特定地点观察到的影响表明了其对空气、土壤和水等环境的影响。具体而言，当前的新冠疫情使得人们大量使用各种医疗物质来治疗疾病，同时也存在大量人群滥用的情况。特别是在过去20年里，抗生素的使用有所增加，而对于其过度使用以及不同来源的残留物处理方面的监管却很少。在本综述中，概述了抗生素进入水生环境的来源及其对环境和食物链的影响，以及长期接触抗生素对人类健康的负面影响，这些负面影响危及环境、人群健康、水和食品的可持续性。该综述指出了不同来源之间的差异及其因毒性和积累而产生的潜在危险，从长远来看，这会阻碍水的可持续性。
