摘要
The environmental monitoring of the so-called micropollutants has gained great interest since the 1970s. In this group of compounds are included several classes of pharmaceuticals, cleaning and personal care products, substances applied in plastics and resins, pesticides, natural hormones and their by-products, among others. The main route of contamination of the environment with pharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC) is through the discharge of raw and treated sewage. Thus, this paper summarizes data on the occurrence of pharmaceuticals and EDC in raw and treated sewage, provides information regarding the mechanisms involved in their removal and compares their removal in different treatment processes.
