Endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can alter biological function in organisms at
environmentally relevant concentrations and are a significant threat to aquatic biodiversity …

Exposures to environmental concentrations of endocrine disrupting compounds are now a
known threat to both human and ecological health [1, 2]. A large body of work has …
