    Extractions: Conscious of the potential threats from endocrine disruptors to humans and the environment the European Commission adopted a strategy in December 1999 aiming at addressing this pressing issue. The subject matter is complex and with this website we seek to provide you with the basic principles on endocrine disruptors and introduce the central issues at hand. A number of reports as well as the Commission's strategy are also presented in detail. The priority list of substances for further evaluation of their role in endocrine disruption is now available as an Access-Database. The database comprises not only substances categorised in terms of priority but also the scientific information underlying the prioritisation. It can be extracted from this webpage A study to complement the "priority list" with a focus on Low Production Volume Chemicals (LPVC) was completed end of December 2006.

    Extractions: NRDC gets top ratings from the charity watchdogs Main Page Global Warming Energy Air ... All Health Documents Top of Report There is increasing evidence that some synthetic chemicals in our environment may interfere with our bodies' complex and carefully regulated hormonal messenger system. Chemicals can disrupt the endocrine system in several ways. They can mimic or block chemicals naturally found in the body, alter hormonal levels, and thus, affect functions that these hormones control. Less direct interferences involve alteration of the body's ability to produce hormones, interference with the ways hormones travel through the body, and changes in numbers of receptors. In adults hormones mainly regulate ongoing physiologic processes. As a result, adult bodies can sometimes compensate or recover from temporary hormonal modulation. Hormonal effects in the fetus are much more profound because they affect gene expression that governs development of organs as well as lifelong hormonal "set points", such as receptor numbers and hormonal production. In the case of endocrine disruptors and other developmental toxicants, the timing of exposure may be more important than the dose.

    Extractions: Theo Colburn is listed as an author of "Our Stolen Future", and she is referenced to in third person in the chapter we included in this packet. What do you think of this style of writing? An article in "Environmental Science and Technology" asked, "Will 'Our Stolen Future' be another 'Silent Spring?'" Is this book a good example of activist science writing by a scientist on the ranks of 'Silent Spring?' Do you think the subject of endocrine disruptors became of more interest to the public when the focus shifted from wildlife to human life effects? What role do you think the media played in this? Sharpe and Skakkebaek published their article in "Lancelot" in 1993; a whole body of literature exists that disagrees with their work. Does this article in any way function as Walter Alvarez’s work did (in other words, as a catalyst for more research on estrogen and endocrine disruptors? Check out the "Wall Street Journal" essay by Stephen Safe (8/20/97). Safe is a co-author of some of the work done on disproving endocrine disruptor effects on humans. After all you’ve read, what do you think of the tiny essay by Diane Katz in the corner?

    Extractions: Today we get an overview of how the problem of hormone disruptors arose and where the issue stands. Our article on these endocrine disrupting chemicals comes from Joseph K. Sheldon, Professor of Biology and Environmental Science at Messiah College in Pennsylvania, and David K. Foster, Associate Professor of Biology and Environmental Science, also at Messiah College. It has been excerpted from an article they previously published in Christian Scholars' Review by Joseph K. Sheldon and David K. Foster smog event, as they did in Donora, Pennsylvania in October of 1948, and rivers don't catch on fire, as the Cuyahoga River of Cleveland, Ohio did in 1936, 1952, and most famously in 1969. Even sewage treatment has advanced so that every American city has at least secondary treatment, and many plants can remove most of the excess phosphorous and nitrogen before the water is returned to nature's ecosystems. Chemicals that were directly toxic to humans, such as arsenic and nicotine pesticides, and even some chemicals that are known carcinogens, are now largely removed from our food supply.

    Extractions: Search USGS Biology Contaminant Biology Program Biology Discipline About Us Science Center Locations NBII ... Toxicology Endocrine Disruption The ability of environmental contaminants to affect reproductive and developmental processes in fish and wildlife species has long been known. An increasingly persuasive body of evidence indicates that many of these chemicals may be causing such effects through interference and disruption of normal endocrine function. Field observations have correlated abnormal sex organ morphology, unusual sex hormone levels and ratios, and altered physiological and biochemical processes with exposure to environmental contaminants. These developmental end points are under the control of the endocrine system, lending support to the hypothesis that environmental contaminants may disrupt endocrine function. The USGS Contaminant Biology Program investigates the exposure and effects of contaminants on fish and wildlife and focuses on Endocrine Disruption as a part of Toxicology component of the research. It closely collaborates with two other USGS programs - Toxic Substances Hydrology and the National Water Quality Assessment, which conduct research and monitoring (respectively) to determine the presence and chemical fate of contaminants in aquatic environments.

    Extractions: Directly to the content Main menu Additional menu Search Advanced Search Deutsch Overview "Press" A/2010, 19.04.2010 Background information for journalists The hormone system is involved in the steering of almost all bodily functions for instance in energy production and use, regulation of blood pressure and electrolyte metabolism. Reactions to emergency situations (hunger, stress, infection) are steered by hormones as are mood, behaviour, growth, development and reproduction. The hormone system is influenced by numerous internal and external factors. Many natural and synthetic substances can impact the hormone system when they reach the body. Critical doses can on the one hand directly disrupt specific hormone-dependent body functions. Some substances can also influence the hormone system during sensitive development phases like, for instance, the unborn child during pregnancy and, in this way, cause permanent damage to health. Synthetic or natural substances of this kind, which may have harmful effects on the hormone system, are called endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors are not a defined group of substances. One of their properties is that they can have an effect on the hormone system. They may differ from one another in terms of their other properties. Potential endocrine disruptors also include natural ingredients in food like phytohormones, for instance isoflavones in soya but also environmental toxins like PCBs, pesticides like DDT, specific preservatives and components of printing inks and UV light protection substances like benzophenone, heavy metals like cadmium and plasticisers like some phthalic acid esters.
