21. ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS AND OTHER SCARY THINGS
    ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS AND OTHER SCARY THINGS. BY CANDICE DOUGLAS, MICHAEL MOORE and ROSALIND SCHOOF PTI Environmental. Protecting the environment is a complex and often controversial  
    http://www.djc.com/special/enviro96/10014103.htm
    
    Extractions: PTI Environmental Protecting the environment is a complex and often controversial issue. That is why the application of scientific principles and the appropriate use of scientific research are critical when evaluating real risks versus perceived risks from exposure to chemicals. The great apple scare of 1989 over the use of the pesticide Alar is a prime example of how misinterpreting scientific research can result in huge repercussions. The apple industry lost millions of dollars, Alar was banned and the apple growers filed a $200 million lawsuit against the organizations that initiated the scare. How estrogen influences organisms. When the dust finally settled, we learned that the scientific information used to support this huge scare was based on the inaccurate analyses of research on mice conducted in 1977. In addition, the analyses falsely interpreted animal results to predict human cancer risk. For the environment, the real tragedy is that Alar was banned and replaced with potentially more toxic chemicals. The Alar situation clearly demonstrates the importance of understanding and correctly interpreting scientific data when evaluating the effects of chemicals on human health and the environment.

    Extractions: Context - Some chemicals, both natural and man-made, can interfere with the hormonal system. They are called 'endocrine disruptors’. The most controversial issue is whether low level exposures to such chemicals can have adverse effects. Have endocrine disruptors affected wild life and our hormonal system? How much do we know so far? Level 1 Questions Top Next Question The endocrine system is a set of glands and the hormones they produce, which help guide the development, growth, reproduction, and behaviour of animals and humans. Some hormones are also released from parts of the body that are not glands, such as the stomach, intestines or nerve cells , and act closer to where they are released.

    Extractions: var isReferenceAnswers = true; BodyLoad('s'); On this page Library Encyclopedia of Public Health: Home Library Health Public Health Encyclopedia An endocrine disruptor is any chemical (including dietary) or physical agent that modulates one or several of the endocrine organs or the function of these organs. The endocrine system works primarily as a closed feedback loop that functions to maintain homeostasis. It is made up of a series of organs, the hormones these organs produce and release, and the organs and tissues affected by these hormones. Endocrine disruptors can modulate any segment of the endocrine system. There are many endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the environment. The question is what impact these agents have, and how they affect public health. In the occupational setting, if high levels of exposure occur, the risk of disease is very high. This was seen during the manufacturing of diethylstilbestrol (DES), the prototypical endocrine disruptor. The effects of environmental levels of estrogen modulators may be masked by dietary factors, natural hormones, or therapeutic agents. However, exposures of select populations, such as PCB exposures in China, may be of such magnitude as to be discernible in the clinical setting. In the light of public health concern, the best policy is to minimize exposure and at the same time determine the mechanisms of action of each class of chemical involved in disrupting the function of a particular organ system. It appears that for the most part environmental levels of these pollutants may be tolerated in adults (animals and humans) but there are very few data on the effects of these agents in the developing endocrine systems of the fetus or of children.

Disruptions in the endocrine system and hormone levels it produces can lead to cancers and irregularities in the reproductive system. Some scientists propose that hormones can induce cancers by directly altering genetic material (DNA) or can induce cancers indirectly through cellular activities. Many researchers think that hormone imbalance can lead to increased rates of cancers and reduced fertility. Scientists are also developing genetic biomarkers for early detection of cancers, as well as new therapies and prevention In recent years, some scientists have proposed that chemicals might be disrupting the endocrine system (glands and hormones) of humans and wildlife. The endocrine system also referred to as the hormone system is made up of glands located throughout the body, hormones which are synthesized and secreted by the glands into the bloodstream, and receptors in the various target organs and tissues which recognize and respond to the hormones. The function of the system is to regulate a wide range of biological processes, including control of blood sugar, growth and function of reproductive systems, regulation of metabolism, brain and nervous system development, and development of an organism from conception through adulthood and old age.

    Extractions: Our urban, technological lifestyle is beginning to take its toll on us. Slowly, imperceptibly, we are accumulating a chemical legacy that could prove to be our undoing. Every human being on the planet now walks around with more than 250 synthetic chemicals in their bodies. From even before we are born, our bodies are been filled with the very chemicals we use in our everyday lives. Nature itself is beginning to feel the impact of endocrine disruptors as our most treasured animals, from the American Bald Eagle to the mighty Beluga Whale are been poisoned to the point of extinction. Endocrine disruptors come in various shapes and sizes and have different functional roles within the manufacturing and agricultural industries but they all have one thing in common; the ability to integrate themselves into living systems and mimic the roles of natural chemical messengers.
