Major Goals and Objectives

• Investigate the reduction of 17β-estradiol (E2) and Estrone
  (E1) in treated wastewaters that were subjected to a tertiary treatment composed of a coupled wetland and ground water flow through system
• Quantify the presence of E2 and E1 in treated wastewater and along ground water pathways from a wetland
• Determine the potential reduction of E2 and transformation of E2 to E1 along the ground water pathways
• Expand upon the results by Peterson and Lanning (2009) showing the effectiveness of wetlands as a treatment for E2 removal
• Use the pilot data gathered to develop a more thorough assessment of the wastewater treatment process
