• Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in surface and treated waters of Louisiana, USA and Ontario, Canada. (2003, background): “Studies have shown that the transformation processes for specific PPCP compounds can vary in a sewage treatment plant, depending on the characteristics of the sewage, weather conditions, and the design and operation of the treatment processes (Ternes, 1998; Johnson and Sumpter, 2001).”
• Endocrine-Disrupting Compounds: An Overview on Their Occurrence in the Aquatic Environment and Human Exposure (2021, background): “However, in the case of phenolic compounds, such as alkylphenols and bisphenol A, concentrations (up to mg/L) detected in wastewater [182] were higher than the natural steroidal estrogen 17β-estradiol and the synthetic contraceptive 17α-ethinylestradiol that have higher estrogenic activity (ng/L) [1”
