The project's aims are to determine a) the impact of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) such as contraceptive pills and detergents in sewage effluent on aquatic biota; and b) which EDCs contribute to the impact. This project will provide the first comprehensive assessment of whether EDCs are causing effects in rivers downstream of sewage treatment plants and will identify the chemicals responsible. New biological tests for detecting endocrine disruption will also be developed for research and commercial use. The findings will assist regulatory bodies and water service providers to develop appropriate legislative, management and technological strategies to minimise EDC impacts on ecosystem health.

该项目的目的是确定a）污水中的避孕药和洗涤剂等内分泌干扰化合物对水生生物群的影响;以及B）哪些内分泌干扰化合物促成了这种影响。该项目将首次全面评估内分泌干扰物是否对污水处理厂下游的河流造成影响，并将确定负责的化学品。还将开发用于检测内分泌干扰的新生物测试，以供研究和商业使用。调查结果将协助监管机构和供水服务提供商制定适当的立法、管理和技术策略，以最大限度地减少电子数据采集对生态系统健康的影响。
