Occurrence of Steroid Sex Hormone Progesterone in influent and effluent of Oxidation Pond and the river outlet of waste water treatment case study
Background and Objective: This studied about the occurrence of Endocrine Disrupting Compound (EDC) in interest of steroid sex hormone progesterone excretion in the environment, that focusing on water resource in terms of effluent and influent of the waste water treatment into the outlet river and en...

Materials and Methods: A method called dispersive liquid-liquid micro extraction with solidification of floating organic drop followed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was used for determination of progesterone.

Results: Based on the result obtained it is found that there were few detections and occurrences of steroid sex hormone progesterone in the study with detection range from lowest concentration of 4.278±7.411 ng mL–1 and the highest concentration recorded at 16.687±6.233 ng mL–1 and the average concentration of progesterone is at 6.356±3.112 ng mL–1.
