Abstract

• Quantitative global ARGs profile in dialysis water was investigated.

• Totally 35 ARGs were found in the dialysis treatment train.

• 29 ARGs (highest) were found in carbon filtration effluent.

• erm and mtrD-02 occurred in the final effluent.

• The effluent was associated with health risks even after RO treatment.
