Determination of endocrine disrupters in sewage treatment and receiving waters

Gomes, Rachel L; Scrimshaw, Mark D; Lester, John N

Abstract

The presence of numerous endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) in surface waters and sediment has been primarily attributed to their incomplete removal in the sewage-treatment process. Determination of these chemicals is required in order to assess their environmental impact. An overview is given on the biological and analytical methodologies used, both individually and in combination, to determine estrogenicity and quantification for several EDCs present in sewage and surface-water matrices.
