The relevance of the presence of certain synthetic steroids in the aquatic environment

Norethisterone and ethinyloestradiol concentrations in sewage effluent, reservoirs, rivers and potable water have been estimated at less than 20 ng L−1, a value unlikely to present a significant risk to human health.
