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

In the literature, multiple sample schemes have been developed to assess the
environmental impacts of endocrine-disruptor compounds (EDCs) from sewage treatment …

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 …

Background Epidemiological documentation of endocrine disruption is complicated by
imprecise exposure assessment, especially when exposures are mixed. Even if the …

Estrogenic compounds are widely released to surface waters and may cause adverse
effects to sensitive aquatic species. Three hormones, estrone, 17β-estradiol and 17α …

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 …

Background: The aim of the study was to review data on the impact of anthropogenic
chemicals (endocrine disruptors) on various diseases, which, consequently, may facilitate …

Two examples are presented for the application of the total effective xenoestrogen burden
as biomarker of chemical exposure measured in tissue samples from patients recruited for …

Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) as active biological compounds can pose a threat
to the environment through acute and chronic toxicity in organisms, accumulation in the …

The aim of this study was to compare results obtained by eight different short-term assays of
estrogenlike actions of chemicals conducted in 10 different laboratories in five countries …
