What Are the Challenges in Regulating Endocrine Disruptors?
Regulating endocrine disruptors poses several challenges. One major issue is the dose-response relationship, as some of these chemicals can have effects at very low levels not traditionally considered hazardous. Additionally, the wide range of sources and the potential for long-term and cumulative effects complicate the assessment of safe exposure levels. Furthermore, the synergistic effects of multiple endocrine disruptors present in the environment make it difficult to isolate the impact of individual chemicals.
