17α-ethynylestradiol and its two main conjugates in seven municipal wastewater treatment plants: Analytical method, their occurrence, removal and risk evaluation.

This work shows the existence of both 17-ethinylestradiol-3-sulfate (EE2-3S) and 17-ethinylestradiol-3-glucuronide (EE2-3G) in seven municipal WWTPs with substantial concentrations (n.d-50.10 ng/L).

[Relationships Between Microplastic and Surrounding Soil in an E-Waste Zone of China].

Microplastic pollution is ubiquitous and has attracted significant public attention. Recent research on microplastic has focused on aquatic environments, but its impacts on soil ecosystems remain poorly understood, especially in e-waste dismantling zones. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between microplastic and surrounding soil in abandoned e-waste disassembling plots with different dismantling methods focusing on ecotoxicology and microbiology in Guiyu, Shantou District, Guangdong Province.
