Mofizul Islam and Qiuyan Yuan
Abstract—Currently, the micropllutants such as antibiotics are not included in the environmental effects monitoring program for municipal wastewater effluent. This paper presents the importance of the integration of the antibiotics in EEM program. In addition, various types of the sample collection and analysis method for antibiotics monitoring are discussed. It is concluded that antibiotic monitoring program would give an insight view of the effectiveness of antibiotic removal measure of the environmental management and would be very crucial tool for finding the proper remedial actions for the wastewater treatment authorities.
Index Terms—Micropollutant, anitbiotics, environmental effect monitoring, municipal wastewater effluent, aquatic ecosystems.
