Endocrine Disruptors: Is Exposure Harmful? - Sheela Sathyanarayana, MD, MPH

"Endocrine Disruptors: What Are They? Are They Harmful? How Do We Measure Them?"
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are used in a variety of consumer products and industrial settings. Many EDCs are high production volume chemicals, making them ubiquitous in our environment. Numerous studies show that the majority of the general population is exposed to EDCs, but studies of human health impacts are limited. This session will focus on sources of exposure, biological exposure measures, and potential health impacts.
