DESENVOLVIMENTO E VALIDAÇÃO DE MÉTODO PARA DETERMINAÇÃO DE BISFENOL A E ETINILESTRADIOL EM AGUAPÉ E MINI-PAPIRO PROVENIENTES DE WETLANDS CONSTRUÍDAS

Bisphenol A and ethinylestradiol, both considered as endocrine disruptors, have been found in surface water and effluents from municipal wastewater supply and can cause adverse health effects on wildlife species and in human beings at extremely low level. In order to remove these compounds from wastewater, constructed wetlands has been used since it proved to be more efficient, and has less cost than conventional treatments. One of the mechanisms of removal of endocrine disruptors by constructed wetlands is the uptake by macrophytes, so it is necessary to analyze these compounds in the plants ...
