Endocrine Interfering in Natural Waters: Voltammetric Determination of 17α-methyltestosterone

Abstract

The sex hormones including 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) are within a group of compounds considered as endocrine disruptors. However, few studies report the presence of hormone MT in environmental samples. In this context, this paper describes the direct determination of MT in water samples based on electroredution and employing the electrode hanging mercury drop and square wave voltammetry.
