This paper provides a review of the types of emerging organic groundwater contaminants
(EGCs) which are beginning to be found in the UK. EGCs are compounds being found in …

Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are pollutants with estrogenic or androgenic
activity at very low concentrations and are emerging as a major concern for water quality …

Estrogenic hormones (estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), 17α-ethinylestradiol
(EE2)) are the major contributor to the total estrogenicity in waterways. Presence of these …

Surface water can contain countless organic micropollutants, and targeted chemical
analysis alone may only detect a small fraction of the chemicals present. Consequently …

Discussion and conclusions Our results demonstrate a widespread contamination of mineral
water with xenoestrogens that partly originates from compounds leaching from the plastic …

The first edition of Bioanalytical Tools in Water Quality Assessment was released in 2012.
The field has exploded since and the second edition updates and reviews the application of …

Rain events may impact the chemical pollution burden in rivers. Forty-four small streams in
Germany were profiled during several rain events for the presence of 395 chemicals and five …

Surface waters can contain a range of micropollutants from point sources, such as
wastewater effluent, and diffuse sources, such as agriculture. Characterizing the source of …

The present study is the first comprehensive monitoring of 13 selected endocrine disrupting
compounds (EDCs) in untreated urban and industrial wastewater in Serbia to assess their …

The ubiquitous occurrence of steroid estrogens (SEs) in the aquatic environment has raised
global concern for their potential environmental impacts. This paper extensively compiled …
