In this paper, evidence from the current literature is presented that addresses either of two
questions: 1) do EDCs in the aquatic environment have the potential to impact the …

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous in aquatic and terrestrial
environments. The main objective of this review was to summarize the current knowledge of …

Endocrine disruption has been reported in freshwater fish populations around the world.
This phenomenon ranges from subtle changes in the physiology and sexual behavior of fish …

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

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

Over the past 25 years, extensive research in vertebrate species has identified several
genomic pathways altered by exposures to anthropogenic chemicals with hormone-like …

Although a relatively new area of environmental research, the field of endocrine disruption
has grown very rapidly, and currently many hundreds, perhaps even a few thousand, papers …

Increasing industrial and agricultural activities have led to a disturbing increase of pollutant
discharges into the environment. Most of these pollutants can induce short-term, sustained …

Endocrine‐disrupting compounds have the potential to alter hormone pathways that
regulate reproductive processes. With the exception of endocrine effects leading to …

Anthropogenic chemicals in the aquatic environment are known to cause reproductive
disturbances in vertebrate and invertebrate organisms, by interfering with the endocrine …
