As EDs are components of many common plastics, environmental contamination has increased markedly in recent years, along with an upsurge in related human health problems such as obesity, sterility, birth defects, and sexual disorders, and environmental problems due to the damaging effects of EDs on wildlife reproduction and livestock fertility. This textbook looks at EDs and their effects. Traditional toxicology testing has not focused on these chemicals, but their effects are rapidly becoming a major priority for both human and animal health around the world. Th provides the first wholistic view of the field of ED study. It unites aspects of endocrinology, toxicology, molecular biology, developmental biology, physiology, epidemology, and risk assessment and management. This will be a cor for professional and advanced student readers in a variety of fields: medicine, agriculture and veterinary medicine, wildlife management and conservation, the packaging industry, and risk management and toxic mitigation work.
