Endocrine disruptors (EDs): Reducing exposure in hospitals and homes, a project supported by the Regional Health Agency (ARS)
Introduction
Endocrine disruptors (EDs), that mimic hormones, can cause various pathologies, with pregnant women and children being particularly vulnerable. Our institution received funding from the ARS to train staff, raise patient awareness, and reduce ED exposure in maternity care, coordinated by a multidisciplinary committee.
Methods and results
Training for hospital staff and liberal doctors, midwives, through FEES project (Pregnant Women Environment and Health) courses and conferences with experts (epidemiologists, toxicologists, endocrinologist specializing in infertility).
Patient awareness flyers distributed during endocrinology and gynecology consultations; interactive environmental health education workshops for pregnant women and patients in endocrinology; a teaching cabinet displaying everyday items to avoid or favor.
A satisfaction survey was completed by 255 patients (77% women, all ages). In all, 85% of patients find the initiative valuable, and 65% feel able to implement advice on textiles, indoor air quality, household products, food, food conservation, and cosmetics. Key barriers included cost, time constraints, and habits.
A QR code was created to educate pregnant women with gestational diabetes and conduct a multicentric epidemiological study on ED exposure (385 patients for now). Another QR code was elaborated, focused on endocrinological and gynecological conditions related to EDs (PCOS, endometriosis, thyroiditis, etc.) with 25 patients for now.
External audit of practices and diagnostic of products used in the facility, to identify pollution sources, and obtain the “Healthy Maternity” label from “Habitat-Santé-Environnement”. We analyzed 350 technical datasheets, safety data sheets, and drug characteristics (household products, cosmetics, medical devices, food, building materials). Improvements included for example: using eco-labeled detergents, removing spray air fresheners, and discontinuing Spasfon tablets (containing titanium dioxide).
Discussion
EDs have well-documented harmful effects on health. It is our duty to raise awareness among both caregivers and patients within healthcare institutions.
期刊介绍:
The Annales d''Endocrinologie, mouthpiece of the French Society of Endocrinology (SFE), publishes reviews, articles and case reports coming from clinical, therapeutic and fundamental research in endocrinology and metabolic diseases. Every year, it carries a position paper by a work-group of French-language endocrinologists, on an endocrine pathology chosen by the Society''s Scientific Committee. The journal is also the organ of the Society''s annual Congress, publishing a summary of the symposia, presentations and posters. "Les Must de l''Endocrinologie" is a special booklet brought out for the Congress, with summary articles that are always very well received. And finally, we publish the high-level instructional courses delivered during the Henri-Pierre Klotz International Endocrinology Days. The Annales is a window on the world, keeping alert clinicians up to date on what is going on in diagnosis and treatment in all the areas of our specialty.
