METHOD AND PLANT FOR TREATING WATER IN ORDER TO REDUCE ITS ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING EFFECT BY MEANS OF A LIVING ORGANISM

Method for treating water to be treated in order to reduce its content in pollutants liable to introduce an endocrine disrupting effect and/or a toxic and/or genotoxic effect， said method comprising: - a step of adsorption in which said water to be treated is brought into contact with a quantity of at least one adsorbent reagent producing a mixture of water and adsorbent reagent; - a step of liquid-solid separation of said mixture producing treated water and sludge. According to the invention， said step of adsorption is preceded and/or said step of liquid-solid separation is followed by a step for bringing said water to be treated and/or said treated water respectively into contact with at least one living aquatic organism， the value of at least one property of said living organism being correlated with a concentration in said pollutants of said water to be treated and/or said treated water; said method further comprising: - a step for continuously evaluating the value of said property; - a step for adjusting the quantity of adsorbent reagent mixed into the water during said step of adsorption according to said value obtained at said step for evaluating.
