Abstract

The article obtains a broad literature review on issue of drinking and industrial waste waters treatment. Substances that strongly impact on the hormonal system of living organisms (Endocrine Disrupting Compounds or EDC-type substances) are mostly in a focus. Composition/structure of the most typical substances, affecting hormonal balance of man and their classification are given. The paths of getting the indicated matters into environment are described. The short analysis of difficulties of analytical determination of EDC-substances are given. The basic methods of this kind pollutants removing from different types of water are critically considered: coagulation, adsorption on activated carbon, oxidization, biological and membrane methods, ozone and chlorine. The article contains 25 references.
