Title:
Degradation of Estrogens in Sewage Treatment Processes

Key Subjects:
hormones, disharges, sewage, oestrogens

Key Subjects in Danish:
hormoner, spildevand, østrogener, udledning, mikrobiologisk nedbrydning

Abstract:
Female hormones - oestrogens - can cause sexual disorder in fish and other aquatic organisms. Discharges of sewage are likely to be the main source of the impact of oestrogens on the aquatic environment. In this project a number of laboratory tests were made to investigate binding and microbiological degradation of oestrogens in active sludge, showing that most of the oestrogens are removed in the active sludge systems.

Abstract in Danish:
Kvindelige kønshormoner - østrogener - kan påvirke den kønslige udvikling hos fisk og andre organismer i vandmiljøet. Udledninger af spildevand er sandsynligvis en af hovedkilderne til belastning af vandmiljøet med østrogener. I dette projekt er der gennemført en række laboratorieforsøg for at undersøge østrogeners binding og mikrobiologiske nedbrydning i aktivt slam. Forsøgene viser, at hovedparten af østrogenerne fjernes i aktivslam-systemerne.
