Cooperative Research on Endocrine Disruptors
Abstract
Provides state-of-the art information to understand the behavior of endocrine disruptors (EDCs) in the water cycle, including occurrence and fate and analytical methods. Accomplishes this objective through the implementation of a comprehensive, coordinated research plan among Global Water Research Coalition members in two phases: workshops and specific research projects. Research partner: GWRC.
Two of the project deliverables were managed by WERF as project 03-HHE-4T.

Tools to Detect Estrogenic Activity in Environmental Waters
This 2008 Global Water Research Coalition (GWRC) report describes an international effort to evaluate the performance of five in vitro bioassays to assess estrogenic activity in a variety of water...
In Vitro Bioassays to Detect Estrogenic Activity in Environmental Waters
The presence of estrogenic compounds in water is of international concern because of potential adverse effects on exposed wildlife and humans. Chemical analysis has been problematic due to both the...
