Detoxification of sewage sludge by natural attenuation and implications for its use as a fertilizer on agricultural soils
(2016-12-01)
Sewage Sludges (SS) from wastewater treatment systems constitute a potential alternative to agricultural fertilizers. However, their use is limited by the presence of toxic substances that may represent significant hazards ...
Modeling the dispersion of endocrine disruptors in the Santos Estuarine System (Sao Paulo State, Brazil)
(Inst Oceanografico, Univ Sao Paulo, 2016-01-01)
Estrogens are hormones responsible for growth and reproduction. They are naturally synthesized by animals and humans alike. Xenoestrogens are identical to natural hormones, but they are man-made and used as oral contraceptives. ...
