Table 4 List of exclusion/inclusion criteria at the stage of abstract screening
1. What is the type and concentration range of antibiotics in hospital and municipal wastewaters and receiving water bodies? | |
 Population | Type of aqueous solutions such as hospital and urban wastewater, lake, river, ground and surface water resources and drinking and tap water |
 Intervention | Is not applicable. |
 Comparator | Between concentration of antibiotic members in untreated and treated wastewater and water resources |
 Outcomes | Type, occurrence and concentration range of antibiotics in hospital and municipal wastewater and water resources |
2. What are the comparative efficiencies of various wastewater treatment processes in the removal of antibiotics? | |
 Population | Type of aqueous solution such as; hospital and municipal wastewater, surface or groundwater, tap or drinking water and synthetic solutions |
 Intervention | Type of processes used for removal of antibiotics from aqueous solutions (including physicochemical, biological, advanced oxidation) |
 Comparator | No treatment and alternative treatment processes for elimination of different antibiotics |
 Outcomes | Removal efficiencies of the treatment processes and design criteria for the treatment processes |
