Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals Paperback / softback
Edited by R M (University of Birmingham, UK) Harrison, R E (University of York, UK) Hester
Part of the Issues in Environmental Science and Technology series
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
