Goal
#2: Identify
mechanisms of transformation/degradation of 17b-estradiol in various soil environments.
Objectives
- Identify transformations of parent 17b-estradiol and metabolites (e.g., estrone and estriol) in all experiments.
- Investigate biotic and abiotic mechanisms of 17b-estradiol transformation/ degradation using incubation experiments on sterile and nonsterile soils.
Using incubation studies and radiolabelled hormones the the transformation of estrogens could be identified along with the mechanism.
