Analysis and occurrence of residues of the hormones estriol, 17α- ethinylestradiol and 17β-estradiol in urban water supply by HPLC-DAD
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hormones 17α-ethinylestradiol, 17β-estradiol and estriol were analyzed in urban water supply due to the concern about the problem associated with the presence of these compounds in water bodies. The aims of this project were adapt, validate analytical methodology and monitor these hormones in drinking water. Results showed that the limits of detection, linearity, regression coefficients and recoveries were suitable for the method and no contamination was detected in samples analyzed.

Occurrence and fate of emerging pollutants of 17beta-estradiol and testosterone in hospital wastewater and effluent: The effect of activated sludge and chlorination processes
Introduction: In 2015, the European Union placed estrogen hormones on the list of compounds with a possible real risk to living organisms and emphasized the need for environmental research. The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence and effect of activated sludge process and chlorination on the fate of 17-beta estradiol and testosterone in hospital wastewater. Materials and Methods: ...
متن کاملInfluence of poultry litter land application on the concentrations of estrogens in water and sediment within a watershed.
This research studied the occurrence of estrogens in the Upper Satilla watershed, Georgia, USA, which was impacted by poultry litter land application and discharge from a sewage treatment plant (STP) receiving poultry wastes. Over 14 months, four estrogens in stream water, sediment, suspended particles, and STP samples were quantified by LC/MS. Estrogens were consistently found in the STP influ...

متن کاملOzone treatment prevents the toxicity of an environmental mixture of estrogens on rat fetal testicular development.
Effluents from wastewater treatment plants contain a mixture of estrogens (MIX: 17β-estradiol: E2, estrone: E1, estriol: E3 and 17α-ethinylestradiol EE2). High doses of estrogens have been shown to negatively impact fetal testicular development, but the impact of low doses of estrogens in mixture have yet to be elucidated. Using an organ culture system in which embryonic 15.5 day-old rat testes...
متن کاملSteroid hormones in biosolids and poultry litter: a comparison of potential environmental inputs.
Steroid hormones can act as potent endocrine disruptors when released into the environment. The main sources of these chemicals are thought to be wastewater treatment plant discharges and waste from animal feeding operations. While these compounds have frequently been found in wastewater effluents, few studies have investigated biosolids or manure, which are routinely land applied, as potential...
