Survey of Estrogenic Activity in the Danish Aquatic Environment Part B

Supplementary Investigations

Key Subjects:
estrogens, waste water, freshewater, survey

Key Subjects in Danish:
østrogener, spildevand, ferskvand, kortlægning

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.

Abstract in Danish:
Undersøgelsen omfatter små vandløb med udledninger fra traditionelle renseanlæg, afløbsvand fra septiktanke samt drænvand fra marker, hvor der er udbragt gylle eller slam. Der blev ikke påvist nævneværdig aktivitet i vandløbsprøverne og i drænvandsprøverne var den østrogene aktivitet også meget lav eller helt fraværende. Den østrogene aktivitet i afløbsvand fra septiktanke var derimod gennemgående høj og vil kræve betydelig fortynding for at nå ned under det laveste niveau for biologiske effekter.
