Two interesting documents mentioning antibiotics in the natural system came up this week. SSSA published an article about the implications of antibiotics in manure "which may then get into the natural environment." Shout out to the writer for the amazing puns they worked into the article!  Additionally, the NGWA mentioned the growing public concern over occurrence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in water on their Protect Your Groundwater Day website (which will be celebrated September 6, 2016!). A quick search on the AGI Critical Issues Database reveals a multitude of resources that mention "antibiotics" in their text.
