ntibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are
big challenges for human beings. Use and disposal
of antibiotics results in the release of large amounts of
antibiotics into environment via different ways, including
discharge from municipal sewer systems, application of
biosolids onto agricultural fields and aquaculture etc.
Landfills receive unused and unwanted antibiotics and
ARGs in municipal solid waste (MSW) and are supported to
be important reservoirs of antibiotics and ARGs. However,
the extent of antibiotic and ARGs present in landfills has
not been fully characterized. Here, we investigated the
distribution and dynamics of antibiotics and ARGs in several
landfills in China. Our results showed that (1) antibiotics and
ARGs are widely distributed in refuse and landfill leachate
and (2) physiochemical parameters of refuse and leachate
impact the distribution of antibiotics and ARGs in landfill.
