How is Toxicology Addressing the Issue of Endocrine Disruptors?
Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with hormonal systems, causing adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects. Toxicologists are employing advanced analytical techniques and developing new testing protocols to better assess the risks associated with these substances. Understanding the mechanisms of action of endocrine disruptors is crucial for establishing regulatory policies and minimizing human and wildlife exposure.
