The importance of these issues and the credibility of these scientists makes reading this report a priority for all of us. Statement from the Work Session on Environmental Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals Neural, Endocrine and Behavioral Effects A multidisciplinary group of international experts gathered for a work session on "Environmental Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: Neural, Endocrine and Behavioral Effects" under the auspices of the International School of Ethology at the Ettore Majorana Centre for Scientific Culture in Erice, Sicily, November 5-10, 1995. The need for this work session grew out of evidence accumulated since the first consensus statement on endocrine disrupting chemicals was released in October, 1991. The first statement was framed as a product of a work session on "Chemically-Induced Alterations in Sexual and Functional Development: The Wildlife/Human Connection." Research since 1991 has reinforced concerns over the scope of the problems posed to human health and ecological systems by endocrine-disrupting chemicals. New evidence is especially worrisome because it underscores the exquisite sensitivity of the developing nervous system to chemical perturbations that result in functional abnormalities. Moreover, the consequences of these perturbations depend upon the stage of development during which exposure occurs and are expressed in different ways at different times in life, from birth through to advanced age.

Thanks to pesticides, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, cleaning agents, cosmetics, antibiotics, contraceptives, veterinary and illicit drugs, sunscreen, and caffeine intentionally introduced into waterways and aquatic habitats, endangered species are ever more exposed to chemicals that disrupt the function of their endocrine systems and can hamper their survival. Endocrine disruptors interfere with natural hormone functions, affecting the reproduction, development, and growth of fish and wildlife, as well as humans. As drinking water sources and aquatic wildlife habitats are being increasingly and unnecessarily contaminated by endocrine disruptors, the effects on species can be profound, from chemical castration of male frogs to intersex fish that can’t reproduce.

This disruption can happen through altering normal hormone levels, halting or stimulating the production of hormones, or changing the way hormones travel through the body, thus affecting the functions that these hormones control. Chemicals that are known human endocrine disruptors include diethylstilbesterol (the drug DES), dioxin, PCBs, DDT, and some other pesticides. Many chemicals, particularly pesticides and plasticizers, are suspected endocrine disruptors based on limited animal studies. � Natural Resources Defense Council http://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/qendoc.asp

Extractions: What are Endocrine Disruptors? Why does ORD have an Endocrine Disruptors Research Program? Evidence suggests that environmental exposure to EDCs may cause adverse health effects in human and wildlife populations. Considerable uncertainty exists regarding the relationship(s) between adverse health outcomes and exposure to environmental contaminants. In 1996, through the enactment of the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA), the U.S. Congress directed EPA to screen pesticides for estrogenic activity in humans using validated studies or other scientifically relevant information and gave the Agency discretionary authority to screen for other endocrine effects as well. The Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments (SWDA) of 1996, authorized EPA to screen drinking water contaminants for similar activities.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_disruptor

Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Endocrine disruptors are exogenous substances that "interfere with the synthesis, secretion, transport, binding, action, or elimination of natural hormones in the body that are responsible for the maintenance of homeostasis (normal cell metabolism), reproduction, development, and/or behavior." They are sometimes also referred to as hormonally active agents endocrine disrupting chemicals or endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). EDC studies have linked endocrine disruptors to adverse biological effects in animals, giving rise to concerns that low-level exposure might cause similar effects in human beings. The term endocrine disruptor was coined at the Wingspread Conference Centre in Wisconsin, in 1991. One of the early papers on the phenomenon was by Theo Colborn in 1993. In this paper, she stated that environmental chemicals disrupt the development of the endocrine system, and that effects of exposure during development are permanent. Although the theory of endocrine disruption has been disputed by some

What are some likely routes of exposure to endocrine disruptors? How do we know that endocrine disruptors are dangerous? ... What can I do to reduce my risk of exposure? The endocrine system is a complex network of glands and hormones that regulates many of the body's functions, including growth, development and maturation, as well as the way various organs operate. The endocrine glands including the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, thymus, pancreas, ovaries, and testes release carefully-measured amounts of hormones into the bloodstream that act as natural chemical messengers, traveling to different parts of the body in order to control and adjust many life functions.

Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP) Recent Additions Contact Us Search: All EPA This Area Endocrine systems, also referred to as hormone systems, are found in all mammals, birds, fish, and many other types of living organisms. They are made up of: Hormones are released by glands and travel throughout the body, acting as chemical messengers. Hormones interface with cells that contain matching receptors in or on their surfaces. The hormone binds with the receptor, much like a key would fit into a lock. The hormones, or keys, need to find compatible receptors, or locks, to work properly. Although hormones reach all parts of the body, only target cells with compatible receptors are equipped to respond. Once a receptor and a hormone bind, the receptor carries out the hormone's instructions by either altering the cell's existing proteins or turning on genes that will build a new protein. Both of these actions create reactions throughout the body. Researchers have identified more than 50 hormones in humans and other vertebrates.
