Water Quality and AMR
The effects of climate change on water systems are multifaceted:
• Increased #runoff and #flooding contribute to the dissemination of #contaminants.
• Alterations in #aquatic #ecosystems may favour the proliferation of specific #bacterial populations.
• #Wastewater treatment facilities encounter significant challenges.
• #Microplastics may function as #vectors for the transmission of #AMR #genes.
