(PCDDs), and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are present in human tissues
worldwide (Mes et al., 1982, 1986; Ahmad et al., 1988; Patterson et al., 1988; Thoma et al …

There is broad human exposure to estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), but
the data sets that exist are primarily for various environmental media such as food and water …

It is well known that endocrine-disrupting chemicals, thanks to their ability to mimic or
