EDCs can be found in numerous everyday products and environments. Some common sources include:
Plastics: Compounds like Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates are often used in the production of plastics and can leach into food and beverages. Pesticides: Chemicals such as atrazine and DDT have been identified as endocrine disruptors. Personal Care Products: Many cosmetics, shampoos, and lotions may contain parabens and other EDCs. Industrial Chemicals: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins are often byproducts of industrial processes and are known EDCs.
