Conteúdo: | Abstract: Endocrine disruptors are increasingly found in water bodies and in the environment, which may come from industrial, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic origin. Among these substances, one can highlight the drugs, hormones, triclosan (bactericide used in cosmetics), pesticides, and insecticides, among others. These substances may interfere and cause adverse effects on the endocrine system of humans and animals, and can cause feminization of the male fish, early menarche in girls as well as thyroid problems. Conventional water and wastewater treatment plants are scarcely able to remove completely the present endocrine interferers, and some of the techniques capable of eliminating such compounds as advanced oxidative processes and reverse osmosis, for example, are technologies having high implantation and maintenance costs. Constructed wetlands are natural wastewater and surface water treatment systems that have low implantation and maintenance costs, and have been cited as an efficient method for the removal of endocrine disruptors. In this context, the present work aimed to carry out an extensive bibliographical research on the state of the art of the concentrations of endocrine disruptors found in wastewater, surface and groundwater around the world as well as the efficiency of removal of these compounds by different treatment systems. It was concluded that constructed wetlands are systems that have high efficiency of treatment of endocrine disruptors in wastewater, which can be used alone in rural and isolated communities or as tertiary treatment in conventional wastewater and water treatment plants.
