Endocrine Disruptors
Phthalates & BPA Linked to Lower Vitamin D Levels
A 2016 study associates exposure to phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA), known endocrine disruptors, to lower levels of vitamin D in the bloodstream and expresses concern about the impact these hormone disrupting chemicals may have to public health.
Personal Care Product Use & Body Burden of Xenoestrogens
A 2015 study reveals the use of personal care products increase your body burden of various xenoestrogens which include dangerous parabens, phthalates and phenols.
Chemical in Non-Stick Pans Linked to Infertility
A 2017 study finds perfluorinated (PFCs) compounds (found in non-stick pans) negatively affect animal and human reproductive health and are linked to several diseases including infertility.
Impact of Endocrine-Disrupting Compounds (EDCs) on Female Reproductive Health
A 2011 study reveals that environmental chemicals (ECs) including endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) can alter female reproductive development, fertility and onset of menopause.
Xenoestrogens: The Curse of Civilization
A report written by VN Mishra on the consequences of xenoestrogens that have been introduced into the environment by industrial, agricultural and chemical companies and their consumers in the last 70 years.
Our Stolen Future: Book
A book by leading endocrinologists on the detremental effects of endocrine disruptors on animals, the environment and people.
Endocrine Disruptors: New Discoveries and Possible Progress of Evaluation
A 2012 study on how endocrine disruptors act on hormones and metabolism and how these contribute to genetic diseases.
Endocrine Disruptors: NIH Explanation
A NIH (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences) explanation of endocrine disrupting chemicals with various links to articles on BPA, PCB's, diabetes, obesity, childhood development and more.
Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care Products and Endocrine Disruptors in Water - Implications for the Water Industry
For over 70 years, scientists have reported that certain synthetic and natural compounds could mimic natural hormones in the endocrine systems of animals. These substances are now collectively known as endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), and have been linked to a variety of adverse effects in both humans and wildlife. More recently, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) have been discovered in various surface and ground waters, some of which have been linked to ecological impacts at trace concentrations.
Rapid Actions of Xenoestrogens Disrupt Normal Estrogenic Signaling
A 2014 study states some chemicals used in consumer products or manufacturing (e.g. plastics, surfactants, pesticides, resins) have estrogenic activities; these xenoestrogens (XEs) chemically resemble physiological estrogens and are one of the major categories of synthesized compounds that disrupt endocrine actions.
