OBJECTIVE: To study the estrogenic and (anti)androgenic effects caused by low-dose raw water organic compounds. METHODS: The organic compounds from raw water was concentrated with solid-phase extraction. Rodent 3-day Uterotrophic Assay and Hershberger assay, the assays recommended in EPA Tier 1 Screening Program for EDCs, were employed to investigate estrogenic and (anti) androgenic effects of these chemical mixture exposure. Doses equivalent to human daily intake were administered to laboratory animals. RESULTS: Low-dose effects of water organic compounds,which refer to levels of human daily water intake, did not show a statistical difference of weights of mouse uterus and rat sexual accessory glands(SAG) from the negative control in Uterotrophic Assay and Hershberger Assay, except the height of uterus epithelial in 4.0 L / 60 kg was significant difference with negative control. CONCLUSION: Based upon the water sample tested, it did not suggest that the low-dose raw water organic compounds exposure equivalent to people daily drinking water intake cause rodents (anti)androgenic in vivo effects, but it demonstrated a suspected estrogenic effect.
