    Fields across Europe are contaminated with dangerous levels of the
antibiotics given to farm animals. The drugs, which are in manure sprayed onto
fields as fertilizers, could be getting into our food and water, helping to
create a new generation of antibiotic-resistant “superbugs “ .
    The warning comes from a researcher in Switzerland who looked at levels of
the drugs in farm slurry.41) __________ .
    Some 20,000 tons antibiotics are used in the European Union and the US each
year. More than half are given to farm-animals to prevent disease and promote
growth. 42) __________.
    Most researchers assumed that humans become infected with the resistant
strains by eating contaminated meat. But far more of the drugs end up in manure
than in meat products, says Stephen Mueller of the Swiss Federal Institute for
Environmental Science and Technology in Dubendorf. 43) __________ .
    With millions of tons animals manure spread onto fields of cops such as
wheat and barley each year, this pathway seems an equally likely route for
spreading resistance, he said. The drugs contaminate the crops, which are then
eaten. 44) __________ .
    Mueller is particularly concerned about a group of antibiotics called
sulphonamides. 45) __________ .This concentration is high enough to trigger the
development of resistance among bacteria. 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 treatment.
    A) They don’t 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.
