Abstract
Nowadays waste generation by anthropogenic activities are of great concern globally due to the importance of guaranteeing water quality. Some endocrine disruptors (4-nonylphenol and Bisphenol A) are highly found in water bodies representing potential impacts to human and environmental health. This study shows the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with retention percentages above 90% for both compounds. In addition, MIPs capacity as a coadjuvant in their degradation is demonstrated to minimize potential exposure risks.
