| Summary |
Annotation This book reviews the scientific evidence on the effects of chemical exposure on endocrine function, leading to reproductive cancers and reduction in fertility rates. Along with an overview of the issues, the discussions cover the effects on wildlife and human health, as well as endocrine disrupter research and regulation in the United States. With contributions from representatives of the Medical Research Council's Institute for Environment & Health and the US Environmental Protection Agency, the book provides a comprehensive and detailed review of current issues |
