The Environmental Fate of Natural and Synthetic Oestrogens; Comparison between Prediction Tools and Experimental Values

The increasing demand for clean water leads to reuse practices such as the uses of sewage effluent in crops irrigation. However, the extent to which the effluent is safe to be used as irrigation water remains uncertain. Natural and synthetic oestrogens are ubiquitous in effluents and they are prese...
