<p>The Environment Agency (EA) has worked over the last five years with the water
industry via United Kingdom Water Industry Research (UKWIR) to understand better and
quantify levels of hormones in pre- and post-treatment effluents containing human
waste from wastewater treatment works. This will continue in the next phase of work
due to start in 2020.</p><p> </p><p>A study report, reference number 18/EQ/01/13,
