Environmental fate and partition co-efficient of oestrogenic compounds in sewage treatment process

This work led to the author being invited to become vice-chair of the Water Science Forum, an industry/academia interest group of the Royal Society of Chemistry (Kevin Prior, Chair, kevin.prior@cookprior.co.uk ). WSF regularly report and draft white papers for government and policy makers in both UK and EU. This paper was the first to show that oestrogenic hormones concentrated in sewage sludge are actively recycled back into water bodies, crops, milk and meat by land spreading; with important implications for regulation. Results presented in the WSF discussion white paper on sewage treatment residuals submitted to DEFRA and the Environment Agency.
