Determination of 17β-estradiol and its metabolites in sewage effluent / by Hing-Biu Lee and Thomas E. Peart, Aquatic Ecosystem Protection Branch, National Water Research Institute, Environment Canada.: En13-5/98-14E-PDF
"Among the many chemicals that function as endocrine disruptors, few of them are as potent as the naturally occurring 17β-estradiol (E₂). Recently, feminization of male fish was observed in rivers downstream of sewage treatment plants and E₂ has been suspected as a major compound responsible for the estrogenic activity in sewage effluents. This manuscript describes the development and application of a chemical method for the determination of E₂ and its metabolites in sewage. The occurrence of these estrogenic compounds as environmental contaminants in some Canadian sewage samples is reported for the first time"--Management perspective.
