EXPOSURE AND ASSOCIATED HEALTH RISK OF ENDOCRINE DISRUPTION COMPOUNDS

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) are an inevitable environmental pollutant due to their wide range of applications in the industrial sector. Deliberate or unkempt disposal materials containing EDCs has also significantly contributed its ecological exposure. Several natural and synthetic recognized which at low doses capable eliciting abnormal responses body, this is a threat life for both human animal health. Due hormone-like nature most EDCs, they have ability disrupt hormone signaling pathways leading alteration typical functioning endocrine system. These will eventually results dysfunctions key processes such as growth reproduction. Owing serious health issues attached EDC exposure ecosystem, continuous research ongoing excellent conclusions, proper documentation, formulation regulatory policies toward maintaining healthy ecosystem. The buildup disruptors organisms can be through food chain, may negatively impact ecosystems concentrations. This review discusses sources, possible mechanisms action summarizes adverse effects disruptors, well makes recommendations alleviate negative on animals health.
