| Title | Screening and risk management solutions for steroidal estrogens in surface and wastewater |
| Abstract | Background: The European Commission Implementing Decision EU 2015/495 included three steroidal estrogens, namely 17 alpha-ethinyl estradiol, 170-estradiol, and estrone, in the so-called "watch list" of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). The monitoring of these compounds is difficult because the detection limits of the majority of the available analytical methods cannot achieve the very low target concentrations required to meet proposed environmental quality criteria. In 2014, a combined Science-Policy Interface/Chemical Monitoring of Emerging Pollutants project was launched to meet this monitoring challenge. The project involved 24 research organizations and environmental agencies from 12 different countries. |

The monitoring of these compounds is difficult because the detection limits of the majority of the available analytical methods cannot achieve the very low target concentrations required to meet proposed environmental quality criteria. In 2014, a combined Science Policy Interface/Chemical Monitoring of Emerging Pollutants project was launched to meet this monitoring challenge. The project involved 24 research organizations and environmental agencies from 12 different countries. Methods Sixteen surface water SW and 17 wastewater WW samples were collected across Europe and analysed using five in vitro effect based and three chemical analytical methods. A general description of the project and data evaluation is provided by Konemann and colleagues in the companion publication 2018. In our study, we compared bioanalytical and chemical analytical results with regard to their application for aquatic status assessment. Therefore we considered the potential to predict population relevant risks for aquatic organisms and the specificity and sensitivity of the various methods used in both approaches. Finally, we tested and discussed the applicability and relevance of previously suggested effect based trigger values EBT . 102 Published version articolo 2018_Kase_TRAC_Estrogen2.pdf Articolo in rivista Elsevier 0165 9936 TrAC.
