bioaccumulative compounds with long half-lives that are found throughout the world as a …

Although the potential for endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) to disrupt female fecundity
is great, few studies have assessed the threat to human reproduction. This study …

Objective Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) adversely affect human health. Our
objective was to determine the association of EDC exposure with earlier age of menopause …

Persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs) are ubiquitous, bioaccumulative compounds
with potential endocrine-disrupting effects. They cross the placental barrier thereby resulting …

Background The biopersistent organochlorine pollutants dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene
(p, p′-DDE), hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can be …

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

BACKGROUND Oocyte number is established early in life before a gradual loss of this
ovarian reserve during reproductive life until oocyte availability becomes limiting at the …

BACKGROUND Despite increasing regulation, exposure to persistent organic pollutants
(POPs) remains a serious public health concern due to their accumulation in the …

The widespread use of phthalates (PAEs) has drawn increasing attention due to their
endocrine disruption and reproductive toxicity, while the steroid metabolome is essential for …

Objective Women of reproductive age are exposed to ubiquitous chemicals such as
