Estrogen found in waters alters sex organs of fish

Pharmaceuticals, other substances from sewage plants end up in lakes, cause sexual mutations.


Fish in the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair have been detected with sexual abnormalities and scientists say they may be linked to estrogen -- or chemicals that mimic estrogen -- showing up in waterways.

Studies conducted by a Canadian scientist in 2002 show that white perch caught for research had male and female sex organs, and a second study showed that male snapping turtles had traces of estrogen. Scientist Chris Metcalfe, of Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario, said suspicions are that the feminization of wildlife is linked to chemicals coming from sewage plants.

Scientists from across the globe are also concerned about the gender-bending chemicals. More than 100 scientists from 15 countries in Europe signed a report in June raising concerns about what it called the "high prevalence" of reproductive disorders in European males, genital malformations and low sperm counts. They called for a reduction of chemicals being released into waterways from sewage treatment plants and urged an acceleration of research.
