John R Giesy, Shane Snyder and coworkers from the Institute of Environmental Toxicology at Michigan State University studied effluents from several different types of municipal waste water treatment plants in central Michigan. They also came to the conclusion that human hormones (17 -estra-diol) and synthetic hormones (ethinylestradiol), not industrial chemicals with estrogenic activity, in the efQuents caused male fish to produce vitellogenin, a well-accepted indicator of endocrine disruption [145d].
