Determination
of Endocrine Disrupting Hormones in Drinking and Wastewater
Utilizing the Atlantic HLB SPE Disk
Hormones in drinking water are a growing concern, since
the presence of these compounds can potentially be linked
to serious health hazards such as human developmental and
reproductive side-effects.

Hormones
are introduced into our environment in several ways. Natural
and synthetic hormones that are given to livestock, pass
though the animals, runoff into surface water, and leach
into underground water supplies. Humans produce and excrete
natural hormone waste every day. Waste water flows through
to sewage treatment plants, but waste treatment plants are
not designed to be able to handle the removal of hormones,
so the hormones filter through the treatment process, and
can ultimately end up in drinking water.

DID YOU KNOW:
Heavy
Duty Water Waste Carboy With Drain

Have you heard about the new heavy duty NalgeneŽ
Water Waste carboy for use with the Horizon Technology 3000XL/1000XL
"Oil and Grease Machines" and SPE-DEX 4790 extractors. The
20L carboy is much lighter than the older glass version
and can be purchased with a drain.
"Customers love the new NalgeneŽ carboy" says Neal Hunter,
customer support manger for Horizon Technology. "They really
appreciate that they do not have to lift a 50 pound carboy
full of water out of the hood anymore, they just turn the
spigot and let the neutralized water waste go down the drain."
For more information or to purchase the new carboy, email
or call 603-893-3663.
The NalgeneŽ carboy with a drain is part number 50-1686-00.
To purchase the carboy without a drain, reference part number
50-2138.
