Endocrine disruption, in particular disruption by estrogen-active compounds, has been
identified as an important ecotoxicological hazard in the aquatic environment. Research on …

During the last decade, a number of studies have shown that, in addition to their classically
described reproductive function, estrogens and androgens also regulate the immune system …

Estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EEDCs) are present ubiquitously in sediments
and aquatic ecosystems worldwide. The detrimental impact of EEDCs on the reproduction of …

Estrogenic endocrine disrupting compounds (EEDCs) can cause alterations in sexual
development and reproductive function of fish. Growing evidence suggests that EEDCs can …

Recent research demonstrated how endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may disturb
wildlife populations and possibly also represent a human health risk. Much of the focus has …

It is now well established that there is a diverse array of chemicals discharged into the
environment that can mimic or antagonise the action of hormones. These endocrine …

Exposure to estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) induces a range of adverse
effects, notably on reproduction and reproductive development. These responses are …

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) enter aquatic ecosystems through discharged
effluents, mainly from wastewater treatment works and diffuse run off from land, and affect a …

A wide range of organic contaminant compounds prevalent in the aquatic environment has
been shown to exhibit hormone-disrupting activity. The actual potency of such compounds …

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 …
