Abstract

In 2020, Anthe et al. published a newly developed model to predict imidacloprid surface water concentrations stemming from sewage treatment plant (STP) effluent as a consequence of the use of veterinary medicinal products containing imidacloprid in the UK (Anthe in Environ Sci Eur (2020) 32:147, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12302-020–00424-4). The modelled data indicate that these veterinary medicinal products make only a very small contribution to the levels of Imidacloprid observed in the UK water monitoring programme.

The commentary by Perkins et al. (Perkins in Environ Sci Eur (2021) 33:88, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12302-021-00533-8) questioned the validity and conclusions of the modelling approach. We believe the modelling approach, which considered what we anticipated to be, the major exposure pathways, gives a realistic picture of the chronic emission via STPs to UK rivers.

作者对Perkins等人的回应。（2021）“水中死亡：对“污水处理厂使用兽药排放的吡虫啉水生暴露评估模型的开发”的评论

2020 年，Anthe 等人发表了一个新开发的模型，用于预测英国因使用含有吡虫啉的兽药产品而导致污水处理厂（STP）排出物中的吡虫啉地表水浓度（Anthe in Environ Sci Eur (2020) 32:147, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12302-020-00424-4）。建模数据表明，这些兽药产品对英国水质监测计划中观测到的吡虫啉含量的影响非常小。Perkins 等人的评论（Perkins in Environ Sci Eur (2021) 33:88，https://doi.org/10.1186/s12302-021-00533-8）对建模方法的有效性和结论提出了质疑。我们认为，建模方法考虑了我们预期的主要接触途径，真实地反映了通过 STPs 向英国河流的慢性排放情况。

期刊介绍： ESEU is an international journal, focusing primarily on Europe, with a broad scope covering all aspects of environmental sciences, including the main topic regulation. ESEU will discuss the entanglement between environmental sciences and regulation because, in recent years, there have been misunderstandings and even disagreement between stakeholders in these two areas. ESEU will help to improve the comprehension of issues between environmental sciences and regulation. ESEU will be an outlet from the German-speaking (DACH) countries to Europe and an inlet from Europe to the DACH countries regarding environmental sciences and regulation. Moreover, ESEU will facilitate the exchange of ideas and interaction between Europe and the DACH countries regarding environmental regulatory issues. Although Europe is at the center of ESEU, the journal will not exclude the rest of the world, because regulatory issues pertaining to environmental sciences can be fully seen only from a global perspective.
