Pet dogs and cats have been proposed as sentinel species to assess environmental
contamination and human exposure to a variety of pollutants, including POPs. However …

The extensive database on BPA provides strong evidence of its adverse effects on
reproductive, neurobehavioural, metabolic functions and mammary gland. Disruption of …

The possibility that endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in our environment contribute to
hormonally related effects and diseases observed in human and wildlife populations has …
