Abstract

Certain classes of chemicals foreign to the human body can interfere with endocrine hormonal systems. Hormones are the master controllers of biochemical processes. A wide range of pathological conditions can ensue at all stages of life. Research has shown these or similar chemicals to be increasing in natural and man-made environments. Some research indicates that wildlife is exhibiting the destructive effects of hormone disruption caused by man-made chemicals. The claim is made that human health is already being adversely affected. Many information gaps exist. Major research and screening programs are under way around the world that could well lead to banning or curtailed use for many heavily used chemicals. Makers and users of chemicals can avoid the embarrassing surprises experienced with previous new environmental issues and control programs by joining in the ongoing issue-framing scientific, legislative, and regulatory processes.

内分泌干扰物是一个日益严重的合规问题
某些种类的人体外来化学物质会干扰内分泌激素系统。激素是生物化学过程的主要控制者。在生命的各个阶段都会出现各种各样的病理状况。研究表明,这些或类似的化学物质在自然和人为环境中正在增加。一些研究表明,野生动物正在表现出人造化学物质引起的激素破坏的破坏性影响。有人声称人类健康已经受到不利影响。存在许多信息差距。世界各地正在进行重大的研究和筛选项目,这很可能导致禁止或减少使用许多大量使用的化学品。化学品的制造者和使用者可以通过加入正在进行的问题框架科学、立法和监管程序,避免在以前的新环境问题和控制项目中经历的尴尬意外。
