  • Title: Analysis of environmental endocrine disrupting activities using recombinant yeast assay in wastewater treatment plant effluents.
    Author: Li J, Wang Z, Ma M, Peng X.
    Journal: Bull Environ Contam Toxicol; 2010 May; 84(5):529-35. PubMed ID: 20407748.
    Abstract:
    A battery of in vitro recombinant yeast bioassays was conducted to assess the estrogen receptor, androgen receptor, progesterone receptor and thyroid receptor ant/agonistic activities of effluents collected from Datansha wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), furthermore to evaluate the removal efficiencies of endocrine disrupting chemicals in the WWTP. The results showed that estrogenic, anti-androgenic, anti-progesteronic and anti-thyroidic activities were observed in influent. The removal efficiencies of these compounds were more than 80%, which suggested that the present wastewater treatment processes were good enough to remove most of all kinds of endocrine disruption chemicals.
