RESUMO
The extensive application of pesticides and antibiotics in agricultural production makes it possible for them to coexist in farmland, and the interaction of the two pollutants can lead to changes in environmental behavior and toxicity, creating uncertainty risks to soil and soil organisms. In this study, we explored the environmental behavior and the effects of earthworms under co-exposure to amoxicillin and boscalid and further explored the accumulation and toxic effects on earthworms. The results showed that amoxicillin increased the adsorption of boscalid in soil and inhibited its degradation. In addition, we noticed that the co-exposure of amoxicillin and boscalid caused intestinal barrier damage, which increased the bioaccumulation of earthworms for boscalid and led to more severe oxidative stress and metabolic disorders in earthworms. In summary, our findings indicate that amoxicillin can increase the ecological risk of boscalid in the environment and imply that the encounter between antibiotics and pesticides in the environment can amplify the toxic effects of pesticides, which provides new insights into the ecological risks of antibiotics.
