In recent decades, environmental pollution has been a subject of growing concern. This is partly due to the overuse of antibiotics, the consequent drug resistance and the discharge of drugs into the environment. The aim of this study was to synthesise molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) particles via a noncovalent procedure for the removal of cloxacillin from milk. Accordingly, the effects of operational parameters such as pH, contact time and MIP dosage were studied. The performance of MIP particles in removing cloxacillin from livestock milk samples proved that these adsorbents can effectively help to reduce drug contamination from dairy sources.
