Personal Care Products and Human Health provides background,
historical context and the latest research results on personal care
products (PCPs) and their impact on human health and the
environment. Sections provide an overview of the functions and
mechanisms of action of components of personal care products,
discuss environmental toxicology, outline the problems of
contamination of water systems from increasing use of personal care
products and the resulting toxicities to aquatic wildlife, and
offer chapters written by specialists on different aspects of
concern for the effects of excessive personal care product usage on
human health. This is a comprehensive reference for toxicologists,
environment scientists and those interested in learning about the
science behind personal care products and current concerns for
environmental and human health.
Updated with new and expanded chapters, Endocrine Disruption and
Human Health, Second Edition provides an introduction to what
endocrine disruptors are, the issues surrounding them, the source
of these chemicals in the ecosystem and the mechanisms of action
and assay systems. Contributions by specialists are included to
discuss the varying effects of endocrine disruption on human
health, and procedures for risk assessment of endocrine disruptors,
and current approaches to their regulation are also covered. With
new material on topics such as low-term, low dose mixtures, windows
of susceptibility, epigenetics, EDCs effect on the gut microbiome,
EDCs in from polluted air and oral exposures, green chemistry, and
nanotechnology, the new edition of Endocrine Disruption and Human
Health is a valuable and informative text for academic and clinical
researchers and other health professionals approaching endocrine
disruption and its effects on human health for the first time,
graduate students, and advanced undergraduate students.
Endocrine Disruption and Human Health starts with an overview of
what endocrine disruptors are, the issues surrounding them, and the
source of these chemicals in the ecosystem. This is followed by an
overview of the mechanisms of action and assay systems. The third
section includes chapters written by specialists on different
aspects of concern for the effects of endocrine disruption on human
health. Finally, the authors consider the risk assessment of
endocrine disruptors and the pertinent regulation developed by the
EU, the US FDA, as well as REACH and NGOs. The book has been
written for researchers and research clinicians interested in
learning about the actions of endocrine disruptors and current
evidence justifying concerns for human health but is useful for
those approaching the subject for the first time, graduate
students, and advanced undergraduate students.
