The impacts of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on the removal of 17β-estradiol (E2) in horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mediated oxidative coupling systems were investigated in this study. The results showed that the removal rate of E2 and the affinity of HRP to E2 had been significantly decreased in the presence of DOM. Compared with urban sludge DOM (USDOM), river sediment DOM (RSDOM), which features relatively low aromaticity and molecular weight and a large number of O-containing groups, more strongly inhibited the E2–HRP–H₂O₂ reactions than USDOM. The products were analyzed with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The results suggested that the self-coupling of E2 was suppressed in the presence of DOM, likely resulting from cross-coupling between DOM and E2 or self-coupling of DOM in the HRP system. The results are useful in understanding the fate of estrogens in natural systems.
