This article presents a study conducted in the Meia Ponte River, in Goiás, with the aim of quantifying the presence of five antimicrobials in effluents and surface waters. Samples were collected at different points along the river, including a sewage treatment plant. The results showed the presence of metronidazole and sulfamethoxazole at all collection points, with values ranging from 0.1 to 45.5 ng/L and 0.1 to 502.7 ng/L, respectively. The other antimicrobials analyzed were not detected. These results highlight the need for monitoring the rivers that cross the Cerrado. [Extracted from the article]
