Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the fate of the conjugated forms of the three most common natural estrogens in the municipal aqueous environment. Levels of conjugated and free estrogens in (1) female urine; (2) a septic tank collecting domestic wastewater; (3) influents and effluents of six activated sludge sewage treatment plants (STPs) were measured. The analytical method was based on solid-phase extraction by using a Carbograph 4 cartridge and Liquid Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry. On average, a group of 73 women selected to represent a typical cross section of the female inhabitants of a Roman condominium, excreted 106, 14 and 32 μg/day of conjugated estriol (E 3), estradiol (E 2) and estrone (E 1), respectively. Apart from some E 3 in pregnancy urine, free estrogens were never detected in urine samples. Estrogen sulfates represented 21% of the total conjugated estrogens. This situation changed markedly in the condominium collecting tank. Here, significant amounts of free estrogens were observed and the estrogen sulfate to estrogen glucuronated ratio rose to 55/45. A laboratory biodegradation test confirmed that glucuronated estrogens are readily deconjugated in unmodified domestic wastewater, presumably due to the large amounts of the β-glucuronidase enzyme produced by fecal bacteria ( Escherichia coli). Deconjugation continued in sewer transit. At the STP entrance, free estrogens and sulfated estrogens were the dominant species. The sewage treatment completely removed residues of estrogen glucuronates and with good efficiency (84–97%) the other analytes, but not E 1 (61%) and estrone-3-sulfate (E 1-3S) (64%). Considering that (1) E 1 has half the estrogenic potency of E 2, (2) the amount of the former species discharged from STPs into the receiving water was more than ten times larger than the latter one and (3) a certain fraction of E 1-3S could be converted to E 1 in the aquatic environment, E 1 appears to be the most important natural endocrine disrupter.

On average, a group of 73 women selected to represent a typical cross section of the female inhabitants of a Roman condominium, excreted 106, 14 and 32 mu g/day of conjugated estriol (E sub(3)), estradiol (E sub(2)) and estrone (E sub(1)), respectively. Apart from some E sub(3) in pregnancy urine, free estrogens were never detected in urine samples. Estrogen sulfates represented 21% of the total conjugated estrogens.

The concentrations of free and conjugated natural estrogens were measured in female urine, in a domestic tank collecting wastewater from a residential block with approximately 250 inhabitants, and in sewage-treatment-plant influents and effluents. The study was conducted in Rome, Italy. The rate of conversion of conjugated estrogens to their free forms in domestic wastewater was estimated from a laboratory experiment. Results showed that 106, 14, and 32 mu g of conjugated estriol, estradiol, and estrone, respectively, were excreted daily by the study subjects, and free estrogens were never detected. Estrogen sulfates were less abundant than estrogen glucuronides in the urine samples. Significant amounts of free estrogens were found in the collection tank, however, suggesting that deconjugation in sewers occurred more rapidly than expected, which could have been due to the high concentration of Escherichia coli and other bacteria in the tank. Results from the laboratory biodegradation test showed that estrogen glucuronides were degraded rapidly, whereas the sulfates were much more recalcitrant to biotransformation. The free estrogen-to-conjugated estrogen concentration ratio in the collection tank was 0.91, increasing to 2.0 at the entrance to the sewage-treatment plant. The surviving glucuronides were removed completely by sewage treatment, but a large fraction of the sulfates passed through the treatment system.

Snippet The aim of this study was to investigate the fate of the conjugated forms of the three most common natural estrogens in the municipal aqueous environment....
The concentrations of free and conjugated natural estrogens were measured in female urine, in a domestic tank collecting wastewater from a residential block...
