Accounting for microorganisms yields stricter water quality criteria and elevated ecological risks of antibiotics: A case study of sulfonamides in the Yangtze River Delta

The derivation of water quality criteria (WQC) for antibiotics is influenced by the inclusion of various organisms' toxicity data, including microbial data, though no definitive conclusions have been reached. This study focuses on sulfonamide antibiotics, common in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD)...
