Abstract
An urban watershed in northern New Jersey was studied to determine the presence of antibiotic compounds above and below the discharges of two wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). Many antibiotic compounds are not completely removed by conventional wastewater treatment plants which results in these compounds entering receiving waters. The antibiotic compounds which enter waterways from WWTP discharges are assumed to be resistant to biologically mediated degradation.
