Abstract Environmental estrogens are widely spread across the world and are increasingly thought of as serious contaminators. The present study looks at the influence of different concentrations of 17β‐estradiol on greenhouse gas emissions (CO 2 , CH 4 , and N 2 O) in simulated systems to explore the relationship between environmental estrogen‐pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in natural water bodies. The present study finds that 17β‐estradiol pollution in simulated systems has significant promoting effects on the emissions of CH 4 and CO 2 , although no significant effects on N 2 O emissions. The present study indicates that 17β‐estradiol has different effects on the different elements cycles; the mechanism of microbial ecology is under review.
