Conclusions• Androgenic compounds are attenuated by
wastewater treatment in HPUD to below-detection-limit level.
i f• Estrogenic compounds can be detected from HPUD effluent from both MBR and traditional activated sludge.M b Bi i idi• Membrane Bioreactor is providing on average 10 fold cleaner effluent than gtraditional activated sludge in terms of estrogenic compoundsestrogenic compounds.
Measurement of estrogenic substances in samples of the the Deepwater Horizon oil spillsamples of the the Deepwater Horizon oil spill
Goals: Determine if oil, weathered oil, or dispersants contain estrogenic
b tsubstances.
Hypothesis: ypOil, weathered oil, and dispersants will contain estrogenic substances.
