Removal of Endocrine Disruptor Chemicals During Drinking Water Treatment
EPA/625/R-00/015
March 2001
A group of chemicals, known as endocrine disruptor chemicals (EDC's), has been identified as having the potential to cause adverse health effects in humans and wildlife. Among this group DDT, PCBs, endosulfan, methoxychlor, diethylphthalate, diethylhexylphthalate, and bisphenol A may occur in drinking water. The various components of the drinking water treatment process have been evaluated and granular activated carbon has been identified as the method to be used for the removal of EDC's from drinking water. This document presents treatment processes for large municipalities and small communities to remove EDC's from drinking water.
