Which Chemicals are Considered Endocrine Disruptors?
Some well-known endocrine disruptors include bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins, and certain pesticides like DDT. These chemicals are found in a variety of products, from plastics to personal care products, and can be released into the environment during manufacturing and disposal processes. The widespread use and persistence of these chemicals pose a challenge for both regulatory agencies and public health.
