SUMMARY:Trace organics in the water cycle
DESCRIPTION:KompetenzZentrum Wasser Berlin gGmbH (KWB)\N20 years of Research in the
	 field of Endocrine Disruptors & Pharmaceutical Compounds in the water
	 cycle - challenges and solutions for the water sector\N\NSince the 90'\,
	 Research had suggested that several chemical and natural compounds have
	 the ability to disrupt the endocrine systems. Endocrine disruptor
	 compounds encompass a variety of chemical\, including anthropogenic
	 substances such as detergent\, pesticides\, platicizers\, natural and
	 synthetic hormones\, among many other substances.\NThe biological
	 activity of pharmaceuticals compounds is high since they have been
	 designed to act at low concentrations. Thus\, found in the environment
	 even at the low concentrations\, they may produce deleterious effects to
	 the aquatic organisms. Awareness of the potential hazards posed by
	 endocrine disrupting and pharmaceuticals compounds has led to intensive
	 research programs over the past 20 years. The performance of current
	 water supply systems\, urban drainage and wastewater treatment systems
	 is suitable to solve conventional problems only. This workshop intends
	 to review and discuss with leading international scientists\, the status
	 of knowledge regarding the risks\, impacts and available or future
	 technical solutions for the water sector.\N\NWorking language is English
	 with simultaneous translation to German.\N\Nendopharm2010@kompetenz-
