Resumo

Póster presentado en 19th International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering, Prague, Czech Republic August 28th-September 1st, 2010.

In recent years a number of emerging pollutants that can interfere the normal action of the endocrine system in both wildlife and human population at concentrations as low as 1 ng/L have been studied. These compounds, collectively called endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), include various members of distinct chemical groups such as synthetic estrogens, phenols, alkylphenols and phtalates.

This study was financed by the projects, “Removal of organic micropollutants by MBR technology associated to nanofiltration” (124/SGTB/2007/3.1) and “Treatment and wastewater reuse for a sustainable management” (CONSOLIDER) (CSD200644).
