endocrine disruptors, hormones, sewage treatment system, occurrence, removal

This study aimed to analyze through a systematic literature review the presence in aquatic matrices of the natural hormones 17β-Estradiol (E2), Estrona (E1), in addition to the synthetic hormone present in contraceptive pills, 17α-Ethinilestradiol (EE2), considered endocrine disruptors DES. Searches were conducted for peer-reviewed articles published from 2011 to 2022 that determined and quantitatively evaluated these hormone groups in aquatic matrices, especially surface water and crude and treated wastewater. In addition to considering the analytical methods used to determine SD, what treatments for removal in wastewater treatment plants and the risks to health and the environment. The results show that most studies were conducted in Canada, China and South America, and the maximum concentrations of SD in surface waters were found in the points of the rivers where effluents from The ETEs are released. This data provides a good insight into contamination levels and can be used for both new research and decision making in the area of public policy regulation.
