Endocrine disrupters are chemicals--both man-made and natural
that interfere with the body's endocrine system, potentially
resulting in adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological,
and immune effects. In recent years, a number of regulatory
authorities around the world have drafted or enacted legislation
that requires the detection and assessment of the effects of
endocrine disrupters on both humans and wildlife. In response,
this book provides comprehensive, up-to-date information on the
latest tested and proven methods used to detect and assess the
environmental hazards posed by endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
