To preliminarily explore the antibiotic concentration distribution characteristics of Guizhou Chishui River basin surface water and potential ecological risks, we used solid phase extraction liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-HPLC- MS) to analyze 21 types of antibiotics in surface water samples. Twelve types of antibiotics were detected in the Chishui River basin surface water, and the total concentrations of ofloxacin, sulfadiazine, and trimethoprim ranged from ND-1166.97 ng·L, with a detection rate of 100%. On average, the highest concentration of the three types of antibiotics detected were ofloxacin (221.59 ng·L), tetracycline (13.18 ng·L), and sulfadiazine (4.11 ng·L), and the antibiotic concentration distribution showed the following order of characteristics:downstream (359.41 ng·L) > midstream(224.59 ng·L) > upstream (179.72 ng·L). The ecological environment risk assessment results indicated the largest risk for downstream W21, tetracycline, doxycycline, enrofloxacin, norfloxacin, and erythromycin. The risk quotient revealed that lincomycin had a medium-risk level, and ofloxacin had a high-risk level. This shows that antibiotics in the waters of the Chishui River basin may cause certain ecological risks.

In recent years, there has been growing concern about microplastic pollution in aquatic environments worldwide owing to the possible threat to fish health and river ecosystem. Fish are important indicator organisms in rivers, and their microplastic contamination reflects the plastic pollution status of the river. In this study, we conducted the first biomonitoring of microplastic contamination in freshwater fishes from the Chishui River (primary tributary of the Yangtze River), analyzed microplastic abundance, shape, size, and polymer types in gills and intestinal contents of 31 fish species using laser direct infrared imaging spectrometer (LDIR).

Zunyi City, in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, faces significant pollution challenges in the Wujiang and Chishui watersheds. This study analyzed water quality changes from 2021 to 2023. To support current and future water environment management, pollutant emissions in 2022 were estimated, and major pollutants were traced during flood and non-flood seasons.

Fecal contamination is an important source for the emergence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) worldwide. Identifying the host sources of ARG contamination and distinguishing whether the increased abundance of ARGs in the environment is due to on-site selection or the result of fecal contamination can effectively protect water quality and predict human health risks. In this study, the occurrence of 5 ARGs (, , , , and ), 1 mobile element 1 and 7 microbial source tracker (MST) markers (CPQ_064, BacHum, Rum-2-Bac, BacCow, P.

Nickel, as a toxic trace element in fine particulate matter (PM), has detrimental effects on both air quality and human health. Based on measurements from 2020 to 2021 using a single-particle aerosol mass spectrometer (SPAMS), this study investigates the properties of nickel-containing particles (NCPs) in Guangzhou. The composition, sources, and temporal trends of NCPs were evaluated and the impact of the clean ship fuel policy introduced in 2020 was also examined.

This study investigates the distribution and probabilistic ecotoxicological risk assessment of nutrients and metal(loid)s in the Chishui River, the last natural tributary of the upper Yangtze River, which plays a crucial role in maintaining regional biodiversity and water quality. Understanding the impact of contaminants in this ecologically significant river is essential for effective environmental management. Sediment samples were analyzed using diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) to measure labile concentrations of nutrients and metal(loid)s, revealing significant spatial variability.
