But vets are not treating the issue seriously. There is growing concern at the extent to which drugs, including antibiotics, are polluting the environment. Many drugs given to humans are also excreted unchanged and broken down by conventional sewage treatment. [A] They do not easily degrade or dissolve in water. His analysis found that Swiss farm manure contains a high percentage of sulphonamides; each hectare of field could be contaminated with up to 1 kilogram of the drugs. [B] And manure contains especially high levels of bugs that are resistant to antibiotics, he says. [C] Animal antibiotics is still an area to which insufficient attention has been paid. [D] But recent research has found a direct link between the increased use of these farmyard drugs and the appearance of antibiotic-resistant bugs that infect people. [E] His findings are particularly shocking because Switzerland is one of the few countries to have banned antibiotics as growth promoters in animal feed. [F] They could also be leaching into tap water pumped from rocks beneath fertilized fields. [G] There is no doubt that the food and drink is always important to the health. 第六篇 Directions: In the following article, some sentences have been removed.
