Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: An Endocrine Society Scientific Statement

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals: an Endocrine Society scientific statement.

There is growing interest in the possible health threat posed by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which are substances in our environment, food, and consumer products that interfere with hormone biosynthesis, metabolism, or action resulting in a deviation from normal homeostatic control or reproduction. In this first Scientific Statement of The Endocrine Society, we present the evidence t...

EDC-2: The Endocrine Society's Second Scientific Statement on Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals.

The Endocrine Society's first Scientific Statement in 2009 provided a wake-up call to the scientific community about how environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) affect health and disease. Five years later, a substantially larger body of literature has solidified our understanding of plausible mechanisms underlying EDC actions and how exposures in animals and humans-especially during...
