A risk analysis of the potential harm on the soil environment caused by antibiotics in biosolids
The main purpose of this study was to make an initial risk analysis on the probability of antibiotics in biosolids causing adverse effects on agricultural soil environments. The issue on resistance development among bacteria towards antibiotics has also been discussed. Initially, the risk was found to be very high for all of the antibiotics; penicillin, tetracycline, macrolide, quinolone, trimetho
