"Dr. Brind was referring to what he described as "the most common form of estrogenic steroid drug found in oral contraceptives - 17-alpha ethinyl estradiol (EE2),"whose potency is measured in parts per trillion. He added: "Putting together the exquisite potency, heavy worldwide use, carcinogenicity, and resistance to biodegradation of contraceptive steroids, one begins to see the clear outlines of a 'perfect storm' that is gathering. "EE2 has been recognized for over a decade as showing up in wastewater, streams, and groundwater downstream of major metropolitan areas worldwide. There is a large body of peer-reviewed literature documenting this contamination, along with documentation of the disruption of reproductive function and the feminization in fish and other wildlife. In parallel, the professional literature reveals a worldwide effort to find ways to remove EE2 and other estrogenic contaminants from wastewater. Chemically, the artificial inactivation of EE2 is a simple matter - that is to say, the same sorts of techniques used to purify drinking water, such as ultraviolet light treatment and ozonation, will do the trick - but to treat sewage that way is grossly impractical." and you don't care
