The field of endocrine disruption or endocrine active compounds
(EACs), which is just emerging and still controversial, is
comprehensively covered by leading experts in Volume 3, Subvolumes
L (the present volume, Part I) and M (Part II). The major classes
of endocrine active chemicals are discussed, as well as methods for
their detection and their association with health disturbances in
humans and wildlife. The etiology of several of the human diseases
associated with endocrine disruptors, e.g. breast and prostate
cancer, decreased fertility and malformations, is still poorly
understood, and the current state of knowledge is presented. Since
hormonally active agents appear to have the potential of both
adverse and beneficial effects, the evidence of health benefits
associated with endocrine active compounds in humans is also
presented. Basic chapters on the mode of action of EACs and on the
etiology of the associated diseases facilitate the understanding of
this complex subject for non-medical readers.
