Research Progress on Migration,Transformation,and Ecological Effects of Sulfonamides Antibiotics in Aquatic Environments
Sulfonamide antibiotics(SAs)are widely used,exhibiting low absorption and metabolism rates in both human and animal bodies.Consequently,they are resistant to removal by conventional wastewater treatment processes and ultimately discharged into various environmental water bodies.Within natural water systems,SAs undergo processes such as adsorption,bioaccumulation,and photodegradation,leading to their migration and transformation.The ecological effects of both the parent compounds and their associated transformation products of SAs have garnered significant attention.This paper,based on the recent research developments concerning the environmental behavior and effects of SAs in natural water systems,elucidates the pollution status,migration and transformation characteristics,ecological impacts,and the potential risks associated with their environmental transformation products in natural aquatic environments.
