Polymeric Particles for the Removal of Endocrine Disruptors

Endocrine disruptors (EDs) have threatened our daily life severely through drinking water, cosmetics, foodstuff, and drugs. Various treatment processes for removal of EDs are studied in recent years, including membrane filtration, advanced oxidation process, biological treatment and adsorption. In this present paper, the progress of researches on various polymeric particles used as adsorbents of EDs including porous polymeric particles, hybrid polymeric particles, and imprinted polymeric particles, have been reviewed.
