Removal of Endocrine Disrupting Contaminants from Water Using Macroporous Molecularly Imprinted Selective Media
(2009) 235th American-Chemical-Society National Meeting 1022. p.25-51- Abstract
- During recent decades we have witnessed growing scientific concern, public debate and media attention concerning the possible adverse effects on humans and wildlife that may result from exposure to a wide range of environmental contaminants. These contaminants are called endocrine disrupters, or endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) and are defined as chemicals that interfere with the function of the hormonal system of organisms.
Changes in the normal hormonal functions in wildlife is not new - some plants produce natural oestrogenic compounds called phytooestrogens - but this man-made effect is being regarded with increasing interest. The scientific community has begun to compile a growing list of man-made chemicals...
