Urinary concentrations of several endocrine disrupting chemicals, including phthalate
metabolites, bisphenol A (BPA), and benzophenone (BP)-type ultraviolet (UV) filters, have …

Abstract An Endocrine Disrupting Chemical (EDC) is any compound that disrupts the
function of the endocrine system in humans and is ubiquitous in the environment either as a …

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins (PCDDs)
and dibenzofurans (PCDFs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polybrominated ethers …

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are found abundantly in the environment, resulting
in daily human exposure. This is of concern because many EDCs are known to target the …

BACKGROUND: Persistent organochlorine pollutants (POP) may affect both the female and
male reproductive system in animals as well as in humans. METHODS: Blood samples were …

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals are substances present in the environment that can interfere
with normal hormonal balance and thus exert potentially adverse health effects on the …

Background: Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), and
dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) are persistent chlorinated pesticides with …

Growing evidence indicates that exposure to widespread, environmental contaminants
called endocrine disruptors (EDCs) negatively affects animal and human reproductive …

Abstract Background Persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs) may interfere with
reproductive function but direct evidence in humans is very limited. Methods Fertility was …

This study evaluated the estrogenicity of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) present in
environmental media and human tissue and assessed exposure pathways for PCB-derived …
