TLDR
A combination of different wastewater treatment technologies showed greater efficiency in the removal of phthalate esters than individual treatment steps, such as the combination of anaerobic wastewater treatment with a membrane bioreactor would increase the efficiency of phhalate ester removal from 65%-71% to 95%-97%.About:

The environmental fate of phthalate esters: A literature review
TL;DR: A comprehensive and critical review of the environmental fate of eighteen commercial phthalate esters with alkyl chains ranging from 1 to 13 carbons was performed by as discussed by the authors, which revealed that most published values exceed true water solubilities due to experimental difficulties associated with solubility determinations for these hydrophobic organic liquids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of selected pharmaceuticals, fragrances and endocrine disrupting compounds in a membrane bioreactor and conventional wastewater treatment plants.
TL;DR: Eight pharmaceuticals, two polycyclic musk fragrances and nine endocrine disrupting chemicals were analysed in several waste water treatment plants and the SRT is an important design parameter and its impact on achievable treatment efficiencies was evaluated.

Fate of estrogens in a municipal sewage treatment plant.
TL;DR: The main outcome of the study was that a common municipal STP with an activated sludge system for nitrification and denitrification including sludge recirculation can appreciably eliminate natural and synthetic estrogens.
