Assessing pollution profiles along Little Akaki River receiving municipal and industrial wastewaters, Central Ethiopia: implications for environmental and public health safety

Deshu Mamo Mekuria et al.

Summary: The study investigated the water pollution of Little Akaki River in Addis Ababa, finding that the river is heavily polluted by residential, industrial, and agricultural activities, with high levels of heavy metals and organic matter. This pollution poses potential risks to the environment and public health.

Multidrug-resistant bacteria and microbial communities in a river estuary with fragmented suburban waste management

Jia Yee Ho et al.

Summary: This study found differences in physicochemical parameters and bacterial communities between upstream and nearshore locations, with significantly elevated bacterial abundances near wastewater discharge points, including a high amount of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The results suggest that pollution in river estuaries does not linearly increase from inland to coast, but instead varies according to local waste releases and tidal mixing.

Environmental antimicrobial resistance is associated with faecal pollution in Central Thailand's coastal aquaculture region

Thunchanok Thongsamer et al.

Summary: The study found that aquaculture is not a major driver of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the environment in Central Thailand, with the highest prevalence of resistance traits observed in Hua Krabue canal water influenced by urban pollution from Bangkok.
