Abstract:
A method was established to the predict environmental exposure level of veterinary drugs, and used in the study on environmental exposure assessment of sulfadimidine (SDM), oxytetracycline (OTC) and enrofloxacin (ENF) in China, which are the 3 most frequently used types of veterinary antibiotics in China. In animal dung, SDM ranged between 53.07-735.07 mg·kg
-1 in PEC, OTC between 13.30-160.51 mg·kg
-1and ENF between 1.60-40.35 mg·kg
-1; while in soil, the highest PEC did between 534.84-13820.24 μg·kg
-1 with SDM, between 172.66-3054.71 μg·kg
-1with OTC and between 67.61-2484.71 μg·kg
-1with ENF; and in water it did between134.27-3469.62 μg·L
-1 with SDM, between 0.12-2.18 μg·L
-1with OTC and between 0.02-0.87 μg·L
-1 with ENF. By comparing PEC with the measured data reported in literatures, primary exploration was done to evaluate applicability of the veterinary drug environmental exposure prediction modelof veterinary drugs in China.
