A review of phytoestrogens: Their occurrence and fate in the environment
TLDR
This review will summarize estrogenic activities or estrogenic potencies of phytoestrogens by different bioassays, and compare their urinary excretion rates to that of estrone, which suggests that most phy toestrogens may occur in municipal wastewaters.About:

Review of risk from potential emerging contaminants in UK groundwater.
TL;DR: The routes by which these compounds enter groundwater, their toxicity and potential risks to drinking water and the environment are discussed, and challenges that need to be met are identified to minimise risk to Drinking water and ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photochemical decomposition of endocrine disrupting compounds – A review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the photochemical decomposition of EDCs, including direct photolysis, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and photosensitized oxidation (POx).
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic properties, functional attributes and industrial applications of β-glucosidases
TL;DR: A comprehensive overview on detailed functional roles of β-glucosidases in different organisms, their industrial applications, and recent cloning and expression studies with biochemical characterization of such enzymes is presented for the better understanding and efficient use of diverse β- glucOSidases.

TL;DR: This study examined the relationship between molecular properties and the fate of trace organic contaminants (TrOCs) in the aqueous and solid phases during wastewater treatment by MBR to provide a framework to predict the removal and fate of TrOCs byMBR treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water contamination by endocrine disruptors: Impacts, microbiological aspects and trends for environmental protection.
TL;DR: This review describes problems associated with EDCs, primarily estrogenicEDCs, including exposure as well as the present status of understanding and the effects of natural and synthetic hormones and estrogenic EDCs on living organisms, and describes potential biotechnological strategies for EDC biodegradation.

TL;DR: The estrogenic activity of environmental chemicals and phytoestrogens in competition binding assays with ERα or ERβ protein, and in a transient gene expression assay using cells in which an acute estrogenic response is created by cotransfecting cultures with recombinant human ERβ complementary DNA (cDNA) in the presence of an estrogen-dependent reporter plasmid are investigated.
