Estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are natural hormones, synthetic
compounds or industrial chemicals that mimic estrogens due to their structural similarity with …

Abstract Effect-based methods including cell-based bioassays, reporter gene assays and
whole-organism assays have been applied for decades in water quality monitoring and …

This paper evaluated the occurrence and removal efficiency of four estrogenic hormones in
five biological wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), located in the State of Ceará, Brazil …

Zinc oxide (ZnO) was studied as a photocatalyst under artificial ultraviolet (UV) and solar
irradiation for degradation of estrone, a ubiquitous micropollutant widely detected in treated …

Agricultural wastes are a source of steroid estrogens and, if present, conjugated estrogens
may add to the estrogen load released to soil and aquatic environments. Dairy shed effluent …

All food production systems are under pressure to comply with societal expectations that the
produce is not only of good nutritional value but is also sustainably produced. This review …

Submarine sewage outfalls (SSOs) are considered the main input source of contaminants of
emerging concern continuously released in coastal areas, with the potential to cause …

This study demonstrates that ethinylestradiol (EE2), a priority estrogenic contaminant in
water, can be rapidly and selectively removed from aqueous solutions using industrial-grade …

This work investigates the distinct sorption properties of polyamide 66 (PA) microfiltration
