Abstract
Antibiotics are
usually removed by dumping trash in form of solid waste and thrown to toilet. Antibiotics
which thrown to trash, the leak water in the landfill makes it more difficult
for water treatment. If there is no landfill, dumpsites leak water may mix up
with groundwater. The antibiotics thrown to toilet can be transported from
sewage to waste water treatment plant and those antibiotics will often be
transmitted to surface waters without treatment in terms of waste water
treatment plant. Therefore, it is possible to come across with antibiotic
residues in surface waters. Pollution on surface water where there is no waste
water treatment revealed by the researches done previously. Moreover,
antibiotics may also cause soil contamination. It can be shown up as a result
of feeding animals by antibiotics. If animal feces are used as fertilizer in
soil it damages human and animals in food chain. Besides, antibiotics in soil
may leak underground water by rain. This is why there is a high risk that
surface and groundwater might mix with drinking water
In this study,
it will be demonstrated that damage when it is released to nature and
activities in result of environmental threats by utilizing studies completed
before.
