This book is a comprehensive collection of the latest research, findings, and discussions presented at the 2011 conference on endocrine disruptors held in Zurich, Switzerland. It addresses the impact of various chemicals and substances that interfere with the endocrine system, affecting hormone regulation in humans and wildlife. The book provides scientific insights into the sources, mechanisms, and health effects of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), along with regulatory and public health perspectives. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and healthcare professionals interested in environmental health, toxicology, and endocrine science.
