Survey of Estrogenic Activity in the Danish Aquatic Environment Part B

Supplementary Investigations

Abstract
The investigation comprises sampling and testing of small streams receiving treated sewage effluents, effluents from septic tanks at farmhouses, and drainage water from fields amended with manure or sludge. There was none or very little estrogenic activity in the stream water samples or in the field drain water samples. In contrast to this, the estrogenic activity in septic tank effluents was high, and a significant dilution is required to reduce the activity to below known biological effect levels.

The Danish Environmental Protection Agency will, when opportunity offers, publish reports and contributions relating to environmental research and development projects financed via the Danish EPA.

Please note that publication does not signify that the contents of the reports necessarily reflect the views of the Danish EPA.

The reports are, however, published because the Danish EPA finds that the studies represent a valuable contribution to the debate on environmental policy in Denmark.
