Reports
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.
