Environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals have become a global concerned environmental problem, whose distribution, transport and fate of estrogens in groundwater and soils closely relate to human and ecological health. Based on the summary of properties, classification, analytical methods and other aspects of environmental estrogens, it reveals the variety of hazards and risks to organisms and wider environment. Their migration and transformation processes in groundwater and soil environment were characterized then, and understanding of their control and remediation techniques and methods were further reviewed, to provide guidance for reducing the ecological and environmental risks of estrogens. Based upon the significance of the estrogen study, further potential research areas and prospects were highlighted in this field.
