The impact of 17α-ethinylestradiol on roach (Rutilus rutilus) growth
@inproceedings{Windahl2011TheIO, title={The impact of 17α-ethinylestradiol on roach (Rutilus rutilus) growth}, author={Sara Sol Windahl}, year={2011} }
17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), found in pharmaceuticals is regularly consumed and secreted mainly
from women. Consequently, a significant level of this endocrine disrupting chemical is cont inuously
discharged into the aquatic environment. EE2 is the most potent known estrogen discharged,
it can bioaccumulate in animals and persist in nature relatively long. Laboratory research
indicates decreased population growth in fish exposed to EE2 and this may consequently
change the time of fecundity… CONTINUE READING
