Estrogen removal through adsorption on carbon materials prepared from biomass wastes: A review. In XII ENCMP – XII Encontro da Divisão de Catálise e Materiais Porosos. Coimbrahttp://hdl.handle.net/10198/36209Due to the rapid urbanization and industrialization of our world, inadequate waste disposal into land and aqueous matrices has been a deepening environmental and health concern. Substances such as pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, pesticides, surfactants, and petroleum derivatives can be classified as emerging pollutants, thanks to their ever-growing presence and accumulation in the biosphere, especially inwater bodies and even in our domestic drinking water1. Many of these emerging pollutants can also be classified as micropollutants, since they can harm living beings in very low concentrations, in the magnitude of micrograms per liter(ug/L) or nanograms per liter(ng/L)2.engEstrogenBiomassconference object
