Are Endocrine Disrupting Compounds a Health Risk in Drinking Water?
There has been a great deal of international discussion on the nature and relevance of endocrine disrupting compounds in the environment. Changes in reproductive organs of fish and mollusks have been demonstrated in rivers downstream of sewage discharges in Europe and in North America, which have been attributed to estrogenic compounds in the effluent. The anatomical and physiological changes i...
متن کاملNegative impact of endocrine-disrupting compounds on human reproductive health.
There is increasing concern about chemical pollutants that are able to mimic hormones, the so-called endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), because of their structural similarity to endogenous hormones, their ability to interact with hormone transport proteins or because of their potential to disrupt hormone metabolic pathways. Thus, the effects of endogenous hormones can be mimicked or, in som...
متن کاملHuman Health Risk-based Prioritization of Endocrine-disrupting Chemicals in Water: A Perspective
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (“EDCs”, hereafter) have attracted special attention due to its reported toxic effects on children, pregnant woman and elderly. Current EDC-based prioritization approaches do not explicitly include human health risks. This study proposed a theoretical perspective on development of a human health risk-based prioritization framework for monitoring endocrine-disrupti...
متن کاملEndocrine-disrupting compounds: a review of their challenge to sustainable and safe water supply and water reuse.
The relevance of endocrine-disrupting compounds as potential contaminants of drinking water is reviewed, particularly in the reuse of wastewater. Growing populations and increasing intensification of land and water use for industry and agriculture have increased the need to reclaim wastewater for reuse, including to supplement the drinking water supply. The variety of anthropogenic chemicals th...
متن کاملAssessment of safety in drinking water supply system of Birjand city using World Health Organization’s water safety plan
Background: The conventional method for managing drinking water quality is not a suitable preventive strategy for protecting public health. A water safety plan (WSP) presents a systematic approach to ensuring the health and quality of drinking water. This study assessed the drinking water supply system safety of Birjand city using the WHO’s WSP. Methods: This investigation employed the WSP-QA ...
