1: No chemical analysis of sludge samples was performed. E.screen assay and mass
balance over the STP showed that less than 3 % of the estrogenic activity was found in the
sludge. The E-screen assay measures the repons from the total pool of estrogens and
xenoestrogens.
2: One sample was under the detection limit of 0.1 ng/l
3: Anaerobic condition in the septic tanks
4: Digested sludge (ng/g dw)
5: Raw sludge (ng/g dw)
