Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic organic compounds and their transformation products in groundwater: occurrence, fate and mitigation.
Cristina Postigo,Damià Barceló +1 more
TL;DR: The main challenges in managed aquifer recharge, i.e., reclaimed water injection and infiltration, and riverbank filtration, regarding natural attenuation of organic micropollutants are discussed, and insights into the future chemical quality of groundwater are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of estrogens in water, sediment and biota and their ecological risk in Northern Taihu Lake in China
TL;DR: The evaluation of environmental risk showed that the occurrence of E2 and EE2 in lakes might pose a high risk to aquatic organisms, and these findings provide important information for estrogen control and management in the studied area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and determination of estrogens in water samples by solid-phase extraction using molecularly imprinted polymers and HPLC.
TL;DR: MIP technology is an excellent method for the quality control of estrogens in environmental analyses with a low quantification limit for 17β-estradiol of around 26 (diode array detection) and 0.25 ng/mL (electrochemical detection).

TL;DR: Results showed a good correlation between E-screen and chemical assay which indicates that a combination of both can be used in detecting EEDCs in environmental samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exclusion of Estrogenic and Androgenic Steroid Hormones from Municipal Membrane Bioreactor Wastewater Using UF/NF/RO Membranes for Water Reuse Application.
Mujahid Aziz,Tunde Victor Ojumu +1 more
TL;DR: Domestic wastewater treated by a full-scale membrane bioreactor at an MWWTW in the Western Cape Province, South Africa, was used directly as the influent to a reverse osmosis (RO) pilot plant for the removal of selected natural steroid hormones 17β-estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) as a potential indirect water recycling application.

Research needs for the risk assessment of health and environmental effects of endocrine disruptors: a report of the U.S. EPA-sponsored workshop.
Robert J. Kavlock,G P Daston,C DeRosa,P Fenner-Crisp,Gray Le,S Kaattari,George W. Lucier,Michael I. Luster,M J Mac,C Maczka,Rodney A. Miller,J.A. Moore,R Rolland,G Scott,D M Sheehan,T Sinks,Hugh A. Tilson +16 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis has been put forward that humans and wildlife species adverse suffered adverse health effects after exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals and that research should focus primarily on effects on development of reproductive capability, on improved exposure assessment, and on the effects of mixtures.

In Vitro Estrogenicity of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers, Hydroxylated PBDEs, and Polybrominated Bisphenol A Compounds
Ilonka A. T. M. Meerts,R.J. Letcher,S. Hoving,G. Marsh,A. Bergman,J.G. Lemmen,B. van der Burg,Abraham Brouwer +7 more
TL;DR: Several pure PBDE congeners, but especially HO-PBDEs and brominated bisphenol A-analogs, are agonists of both ER alpha and ER beta receptors, thus stimulating ER-mediated luciferase induction in vitro and suggesting that in vivo metabolism of PBDEs may produce more potent pseudoestrogens.

Estrogenic potency of chemicals detected in sewage treatment plant effluents as determined by in vivo assays with Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes).
Chris D. Metcalfe,Tracy L. Metcalfe,Yiannis Kiparissis,Brenda G. Koenig,Colin Khan,Richard J. Hughes,Timothy R. Croley,Raymond E. March,Thomas L. Potter +8 more
TL;DR: Results with the medaka assay were consistent with estrogenic responses in the yeast estrogen screening assay, indicating that concentrations of estrogen hormones detected in the final effluents of sewage treatment plants are generally greater than the lowest‐observed‐effect levels for alterations to gonadal development in medaka.

TL;DR: It is concluded that hormones (especially 17 alpha-ethynylestradiol) and possibly also nonylphenol(ethoxylate)s are primarily responsible for these effects of feminizing effects in male fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of estrogenic hormones in municipal wastewater effluent and surface water using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and gas chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry
Ching-Hua Huang,David L. Sedlak +1 more
TL;DR: Results from ELISA analysis of estrogenic hormones in secondary wastewater effluent indicate concentrations comparable to those that cause vitellogenesis in fish, which provides a relatively simple and practical method of assessing the fate of estrogenIC hormones in engineered and natural systems.
