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

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 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) can alter biological function in organisms at
environmentally relevant concentrations and are a significant threat to aquatic biodiversity …

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

Heightened concern over endocrine-disrupting chemicals is driven by the hypothesis that
they could reduce reproductive success and affect wildlife populations, but there is little …

Only a small proportion of the published research on endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC)
directly examined effects on neuroendocrine processes. There is an expanding body of …

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

Chemical pollution is a pervasive and insidious agent of environmental change. One class
of chemical pollutant threatening ecosystems globally is the endocrine disrupting chemicals …
