The Role of Organic Carbon in Natural and Synthetic Oestrogens Sorption onto Soils

Among the compounds implicated as Environmental Endocrine Disruptors (EEDs), the most potent to alter the normal functions of the endocrine systems of organisms and humans are the natural and synthetic oestrogen. They are hydrophobic and ubiquitous and remain in the final effluents for the vast majo...
