The Impact of VigorOx WWT II Wastewater Disinfection Technology on Endocrine Disruptors
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Endocrine disruptors (EDs) are a class of chemicals with the ability to interfere with the endocrine (hormonal) processes in mammals. Any hormonal process in the body can potentially be impacted by endocrine disruptors. As a result, EDs have been linked to many health related issues, such as learning disabilities, brain and cognitive development problems, breast cancer, deformations of limbs, feminizing of males and masculinizing of females, prostate and other cancers. Unlike Toxins, the impact of EDs on health is not typically short term, and long-term effects may be drastic.

Many organic micropollutants present in wastewater, such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides, are poorly removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). To reduce the release of these substances into the aquatic environment, advanced wastewater treatments are necessary. In this context, two large-scale pilot advanced treatments were tested in parallel over more than one year at the m...
