Abstract
As a new class of pollutants, endocrine disruptors were widely distributed in environmental media such as air, soil, surface water and groundwater, which could interfere with the endocrine system of living organisms, had gradually become a major global issue and caused the world's universal concern. Groundwater was an important “Source” and “Sink” of EDCs, which could accumulate EDCs continuously and pose a great threat to human health and ecosystem. Therefore, the detection methods of EDCs in groundwater were summarized from two stages of pretreatment and analysis test, and the sources of EDCs in groundwater were analyzed from two aspects of endogenous and exogenous, the content distribution of EDCs in groundwater in some areas of our country were sum up, the harm of EDCs in groundwater was probed into from two angles of human health and ecosystem, and the treatment methods of EDCs in groundwater, such as physical chemistry method, biological treatment method and advanced oxidation method, were mainly introduced. Finally, the research problems and future development directions of EDCs in groundwater in our country were summarized and prospected respectively, in order to provide a reference for the prevention and control of groundwater EDCs pollution in our country.
