The emergence of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) in water and wastewater systems has high-risk implications for the environment. This manuscript discusses the treatment strategies for the removal of EDC in water and wastewater systems. The reviewed treatment outlines for EDC removal are classified into physical, biological, and chemical treatments. The application of EDC treatments is discussed based on the removal and degradation process to eliminate the EDC compounds. Interestingly, the physical treatment of membrane filtration processes has been an efficient method for EDC removal without using chemical disinfection in a treatment system. Nevertheless, like other EDC treatment methods, the membrane filtrations are not able to remove emerging contaminants completely. Thus, the overall factor of limitations and challenges in EDC treatment methods such as solubility, hydrophilicity, degradability, and polarity are discussed as to understand the applicability of the treatment techniques from the degradation pathways and the by-products produced. The integration treatment strategies through alternative approaches, such as sequential and hybrid treatments that enhanced the considerable removal of EDC are rely on the sample characteristics. Therefore, this article gathered each treatment approach's effectiveness and limitations, providing a potential outlook of EDC treatment strategies in water and wastewater treatment systems.

水和废水系统中破坏内分泌的化学物质（EDC）的出现对环境具有高风险影响。该手稿讨论了去除水和废水系统中EDC的处理策略。已审查的去除EDC的处理纲要分为物理，生物和化学处理。基于去除和降解过程以消除EDC化合物，讨论了EDC处理的应用。有趣的是，在不使用化学消毒处理系统的情况下，膜过滤过程的物理处理已成为去除EDC的有效方法。然而，像其他EDC处理方法一样，膜过滤无法完全去除新兴的污染物。因此，讨论了EDC处理方法中的局限性和挑战性的总体因素，例如溶解性，亲水性，可降解性和极性，以便从降解途径和产生的副产物中了解处理技术的适用性。通过替代方法（例如顺序和混合处理，可大大提高EDC的去除率）的整合处理策略取决于样品的特性。因此，本文收集了每种处理方法的有效性和局限性，为水和废水处理系统中的EDC处理策略提供了潜在的前景。讨论了极性和极性，以了解降解途径和产生的副产物对处理技术的适用性。通过替代方法（例如顺序和混合处理，可大大提高EDC的去除率）的整合处理策略取决于样品的特性。因此，本文收集了每种处理方法的有效性和局限性，为水和废水处理系统中的EDC处理策略提供了潜在的前景。讨论了极性和极性，以了解降解途径和产生的副产物对处理技术的适用性。通过替代方法（例如顺序和混合处理，可大大提高EDC的去除率）的整合处理策略取决于样品的特性。因此，本文收集了每种处理方法的有效性和局限性，为水和废水处理系统中的EDC处理策略提供了潜在的前景。
