In this chapter, information about some of the estrogenic compounds and their
environmental fate and biological influence can be found. Special attention is paid to the …

Several chemical compounds are being studied for their capacities to cause imbalances in
several biological systems. Some of those are able to affect the endocrine system and are …

Natural and synthetic estrogens are characterized by the largest endocrine disrupting
potential, as confirmed by both in vitro and in vivo studies. Estrogens have been detected in …

Endocrine‐disruptor compounds (EDCs) can mimic natural hormones and produce adverse
effects in the endocrine functions by interacting with estrogen receptors. EDCs include both …

Abstract An overview of Toxicity Identification and Evaluation (TIE) procedures, used for the
effect-based analysis of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in environmental samples …

There is an increasing interest in micropollutants in the environment that can interfere with
the endocrine system, affecting health, growth and reproduction of animals and humans …

Humans are highly exposed to endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) due to the multiple
contamination sources and accessible routes to the organism, including oral consumption …

Biological assays can evaluate the cumulative effect of a mixture, considering synergistic/
antagonistic interactions and effects of unknown/unconsidered compounds. Therefore, their …

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been identified as emerging contaminants,
which poses a great threat to human health and ecosystem. Pesticides, polycyclic aromatic …

Under the present research we have reviewed the sources, fate of Endocrine Disrupting
Compounds (EDCs) and its impact on the health of both human and the environment …
