Ключевые слова: сточные воды, гормоны, методы очистки

Аннотация. Стероидные гормоны – это микрозагрязнители, загрязняющие водные источники во всем мире и оказывающие значительное воздействие на здоровье человека и окружающую среду, даже при очень низких концентрациях. Целью статьи является обзор методов по очистке сточных вод от веществ, разрушающих эндокринную систему: эстрон – Е1, 17β-эстрадиол – E2, эстриол – E3, 17α-этинилэстрадиол – EE2. В обзоре особое внимание было уделено эффективности процессов очистки сточных вод с экономической и экологической точек зрения.

На основе обзора литературных данных были сделаны выводы, что эффективность существующих очистных сооружений недостаточна для избавления от фармацевтических препаратов и гормонов, что влечет за собой необходимость во внедрении передовых технологий и интегрирования их в гибридные системы. Существует необходимость во внедрении совершенно новых стандартизованных методик определения гормональных веществ в различных объектах окружающей среды и различными методами, включая полуколичественными (ТСХ-пластины) и количественными (ВЭЖХ и т.д.). Также необходимым является просветительская работа с населением, направленная на ответственные обращения с фармацевтическими препаратами и гормональными отходами.

Keywords: wastewater, hormones, purification methods

Abstract. Steroid hormones are micro-pollutants that pollute water sources worldwide and have significant effects on human health and the environment, even at very low concentrations. The purpose of the article is to review methods for wastewater treatment from substances that destroy the endocrine system: estrone – E1, 17b-estradiol – E2, estriol – E3, 17α-ethinyl estradiol – EE2. In the review, special attention was paid to the efficiency of wastewater treatment processes from an economic and environmental point of view.

Based on a review of the literature data, it was concluded that the efficiency of existing wastewater treatment plants is insufficient to get rid of pharmaceuticals and hormones, which entails the need to introduce advanced technologies and integrate them into hybrid systems. There is a need to introduce completely new standardized methods for the determination of hormonal substances in various environmental objects and by various methods, including semi-quantitative (TLC plates) and quantitative (HPLC, etc.). Educational work with the population aimed at responsible management of pharmaceutical preparations and hormonal waste is also necessary.
