(7) Environment
Pharmaceutical products including antimicrobials, drugs and daily necessities, are collectively referred to as
“Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs).” PPCPs may have physiological activity even at low concentration,
causing concerns about effect on aquatic ecosystems.[10] Regarding antimicrobials as a type of PPCPs, several studies
have indicated the measurements of antimicrobial concentrations in the environment (e.g. sewage, treated wastewater,
recycled water, environmental water, and sludge).[11]
In some cases, a part of sewage sludge (biomass) that is generated from sewage treatment is reused as agricultural
fertilizers through anaerobic digestion and composting. The extent to which PPCPs are degraded in the sewage treatment
process or in the sewage sludge digestion process varies by the type of PPCPs. For example, among other antimicrobials,
most sulfonamides are decomposed, while fluoroquinolones, such as ofloxacin and norfloxacin, reside in sludge at high
concentrations without being degraded.[12] The biodegradation process of PPCPs is affected by water temperature. The
removability of PPCPs is affected by treatment conditions in the sewage treatment process, such as hydraulic retention
time, the processing concentration and retention time of activated sludge. To further promote removal, research is in
progress to improve the removability of antimicrobials using membrane bioreactor.[10] Many research activities are also
undertaken both in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency in removing antimicrobials, by introducing ozone and
advanced oxidation process. It is required to identify the current status of discharge and developmental trends in Japan.[11]
A study that measured the concentrations of antimicrobials detected in Japanese urban rivers, based on influent sewage
at sewage treatment plants, reported that the actual measurements of CPFX and clarithromycin indicated certain similarity
to concentrations expected from the volumes of shipment or sales of these antimicrobials, and pointed out that it may be
possible to predict sewage concentrations of antimicrobials based on their volumes of shipment or sales.[13] The study
reported that, for example, CPFX and clarithromycin were contained in sewage at the respective concentrations of 51 to
442 ng/L and 886 to 1,866 ng/L. However, no research results have been reported that these antimicrobials in the
environment are affecting the health of humans and other living things.
