Long-term environmental effects of chemical exposure have long been
of concern and, more recently, chemicals which cause changes to the
sexual development of exposed organisms have been identified. It is
thought that low-level exposure to a wide range of chemicals may be
affecting endocrine function, leading to a reduction in fertility
and an increase in reproductive cancers. Endocrine Disrupting
Chemicals reviews the scientific evidence and attempts to put the
subject into context. Along with an overview of the issue, there is
discussion of the specialised aspects in relation to wildlife;
environmental oestrogens and male reproduction; and naturally
occurring oestrogenic substances. With contributions from
representatives of the Medical Research Council's Institute for
Environment and Health and the US Environmental Protection Agency,
the articles provide a comprehensive and detailed review of current
issues. This book will be of interest to a wide readership,
including industrial and environmental scientists, managers and
policy makers.
