>17α-Ethinylestradiol (EE2) is a synthetic estrogen, which is a frequently used active ingredient of female contraceptive pills but naturally does not occur in the environment. As it is only incompletely removed in sewage treatment plants, it can reach water bodies in biologically relevant concentrations.
>The results of the study show that after exposition to EE2, in all amphibian species, a sex reversal occurred reaching from 15 to 100 percent. However, the three species exhibit different sensitivity. IGB-researcher Prof. Werner Kloas, co-author of the paper, is an internationally renowned eco-toxicologist. He says: “EE2 is also part of our water supply and, together with other estrogen-like substances, it presents a serious risk not only for amphibians but also for humans.
