Effects of nitrite on the abatement efficiency of 17a-ethinylestradiol during treatment of synthetic municipal wastewater effluent with UV and UV/H2O2

17a-Ethinylestradiol or EE2 is one of the emerging contaminants (also known as micropollutants) that can cause adverse effects on aquatic organisms, even at very low concentrations, via interactions with the endocrine system.
