Antibiotics save lives – but they can also pose an invisible threat. Residues of drugs such as amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline find their way into the groundwater and thus into our drinking water. These enter the water through improper disposal, excretions or inadequately cleaned sewage treatment plants.
Drinking water tests show that antibiotic residues can occur in concentrations of 10 to 100 nanograms per liter. A glass of water may contain only tiny traces, but over months and years this adds up to a steady burden. Studies estimate that people absorb up to 500 micrograms of antibiotics annually through water alone - enough to have alarming effects on health.
Antibiotic residues promote the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria - a global health risk. Resistance renders life-saving treatments ineffective, while constant intake disrupts the microbiome and weakens the immune system. This is particularly dangerous for children, the elderly and pregnant women. Even the smallest amounts can have a long-term negative impact on health and promote chronic diseases.
