The Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP), mandated by the United States Congress in the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996, attempts to protect public health from adverse endocrine effects of synthetic chemical compounds by establishing a new testing regime. But the complexities and uncertainties of endocrine disruption and its broader regulatory and social context all but ensure the failure of this policy. This article addresses the issues facing EDSP comprehensively and in detail, in order to move beyond the current regulatory paradigm and foster discourse on a positive role for scientists in support of EDSP's end goal: to protect public health.
1996年美国国会在《食品质量保护法》中授权实施的内分泌干扰物筛查计划（EDSP），试图通过建立一种新的检测制度来保护公众健康免受合成化学化合物的不良内分泌影响。但是，内分泌干扰的复杂性和不确定性及其更广泛的监管和社会背景几乎注定了这项政策的失败。本文全面而详细地探讨了EDSP面临的问题，以便超越当前的监管模式，并促进关于科学家在支持EDSP最终目标（保护公众健康）方面的积极作用的讨论。
