Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been emphasized due to their threats in fertility, intelligence, and survival. For the last decade, many researchers have investigated EDC-health outcome. However, EDC responses in human were not clearly clarified through experimental and epidemiological data. Therefore, considering particular status of EDC endpoints, we suggest that one of the best ways to prevent unknown health risks from EDCs is to perform exposure monitoring or to do surveillance for EDC release into the environment. For this purpose, this review considers exposure status of EDCs, and EDC-related health risks, focusing on the mainly highlighted EDCs, such as dioxins/PCBs, DDT/DDE, bisphenol A, phthalates, alkylphenols, and phytoestrogens. We also reviewed tobacco, a mixed source of EDC-related endocrine disorders.
内分泌干扰化学物质(EDCs)因其对生育能力、智力和生存的威胁而受到关注。在过去十年中,许多研究人员对EDC与健康结果进行了调查。然而,通过实验和流行病学数据,人类对EDC的反应尚未得到明确阐明。因此,考虑到EDC终点的特殊情况,我们建议,预防EDC带来未知健康风险的最佳方法之一是进行暴露监测或对EDC向环境中的释放进行监测。为此,本综述考虑了EDC的暴露状况以及与EDC相关的健康风险,重点关注主要受到关注的EDC,如二恶英/多氯联苯、滴滴涕/滴滴伊、双酚A、邻苯二甲酸盐、烷基酚和植物雌激素。我们还综述了烟草,它是与EDC相关的内分泌紊乱的混合来源。
