Abstract：

Di-(2-ethylhexyl)　phthalate　(DEHP)　is　one　of　the　typical　endocrine　disrupting　chemicals　found　in　water　and　wastewater.　Concentrations　of　DEHP　in　water,　wastewater　and　reclaimed　wastewater　are　summarized　based　on　published　literatures.　Concentrations　of　DEHP　in　source　water　for　drinking　or　final　sewage　effluents　sometimes　definitely　exceeded　legal　stipulations　for　DEHP　limits　in　China.　Although　physicochemical　and　biological　treatments　are　the　main　effective　and　practical　technologies　for　DEHP　removal　from　water　or　wastewater,　they　need　further　exploration.　Novel　sustainable　treatment　technology　such　as　membrane　separation　processes　is　essentially　needed.　©2010　IEEE.
