Removal of substances disrupting endocrines “levonorgestrel” sources water

emerging contaminants, endocrine disruptors, environmental managementAbstract
The overall sustainability of water depends in part on its effective re-use, particularly of wastewater, which is essential for irrigation and an increase in the supply of drinking water. However, there is concern about trace concentrations of pharmaceutical products and EDCs in wastewater because the effects of natural or anthropogenic driven processes, such as seasonal natural flow or climatic variability / prolonged drought, are factors that can drastically alter the concentrations of these compounds. For this work a review of the emerging pollutants that are present in the water sources specifically the endocrine disrupting compounds was performed, since the impact of these progestins, such as levonorgestrel (LNG), can negatively affect the reproduction and growth of organisms. The interest of this research topic is to propose a strategy that allows the treatment and control of LNG in the wastewater, from the compliance of the normativity and the use of different technologies of removal or conversion of these contaminants because it is necessary to obtain accurate information on the disposal of these pollutants, their natural attenuation in the environment, the impact of the discharge of waste water into bodies of surface water or groundwater.
