The Impact of Endocrine Disruptors on Human Health

Abstract

Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that can interfere with the normal functioning of the endocrine system, leading to adverse effects on human health. These disruptors, which can be found in various environmental sources such as food, water, and air, have been linked to a range of health problems, including reproductive disorders, cancer, and metabolic diseases. This article explores the mechanisms through which endocrine disruptors affect human health, the sources of exposure, and the potential long-term consequences. Furthermore, the article discusses regulatory measures and potential strategies to mitigate the impact of these harmful substances on public health.
