Endocrine Disrupting Compounds (EDCs) comprise a class of natural or synthetic molecules and groups substances which are considered as emerging contaminants due to their toxicity danger for the ecosystems, including human health. Nowadays, presence EDCs in water wastewater has become global problem, is challenging scientific community address development application effective strategies removal...

Various stimulants (VS) are chemicals that disrupt the endocrine system — homeostasis of reproductive which also known as endocrine-disrupting (EDCs). These substances found in human body, both blood and urine, amniotic fluid, or, among others, adipose tissue. This article presents current state knowledge effect EDCs additional factors such smoking, alcohol consumption, cannabis on gonads. The ...

Puberty in mammalian species is a period of rapid interactive endocrine and morphological changes. Therefore, it is not surprising that exposure to a variety of pharmaceutical and environmental compounds has been shown to dramatically alter pubertal development. This concern was recognized by the Endocrine Disrupter Screening and Testing Advisory Committee (EDSTAC) that acknowledged the need fo...

This study shows that the androgen receptor agonistic potency is clearly concealed by the effects of androgen receptor antagonists in a total sediment extract, demonstrating that toxicity screening of total extracts is not enough to evaluate the full in vitro endocrine disrupting potential of a complex chemical mixture, as encountered in the environment. The anti-androgenic compounds were maski...

Human activity has spread trace amounts of chemically stable endocrine-disrupting pollutants throughout the biosphere. These compounds have generated a background level of estrogenic activity that needs to be assessed. Fish are adequate sentinels for feminization effects as male specimens are more sensitive than humans to exogenous estrogenic compounds. High mountain lakes, the most distant env...

BACKGROUND Laboratory and human studies raise concerns about endocrine disruption and asthma resulting from exposure to chemicals in consumer products. Limited labeling or testing information is available to evaluate products as exposure sources. OBJECTIVES We analytically quantified endocrine disruptors and asthma-related chemicals in a range of cosmetics, personal care products, cleaners, s...
