| Abstract |
|
The Venice lagoon can be considered an exemplar case of study for estrogenic compounds, because the high variety of inputs, such as untreated municipal wastewaters, treated industrial wastewaters, treated municipal wastewaters. Such substances are triggering an increasing interest because of their ubiquitous presence and their possible effects on aquatic organisms. A wide range of chemicals, resulting from human and animal metabolism, as well as from the use of synthesis compounds, is being discovered to induct estrogenic effects, because the relatively low specific specificity of receptors, even at concentrations in the ng/L range. A correct evaluation of lagoon metabolism should consider an estimation of removal from lagoon water of such compounds associated with production and degradation processes of organic matter. Moreover, area distribution of such compounds has to be established in order to identify sources and concentration gradients, and evaluate exposure concentration referred to effect concentrations.
