Anthropogenic contaminants in water can impose risks to reproductive health. Most of these compounds are known to be endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). EDCs can impact the endocrine system and subsequently impair the development and fertility of non-human animals and humans. The source of chemical contamination in water is diverse, originating from byproducts formed during water disinfection processes, release from industry and livestock activity, or therapeutic drugs released into sewage. This review discusses the occurrence of EDCs in water such as disinfection byproducts, fluorinated compounds, bisphenol A, phthalates, pesticides, and estrogens, and it outlines their adverse reproductive effects in non-human animals and humans.
人为污染物会对生殖健康造成威胁。这些化合物大多是已知的内分泌干扰化学物质（EDCs）。EDCs 会影响内分泌系统，从而损害非人类动物和人类的发育和生育能力。水中化学污染物的来源多种多样，包括水消毒过程中形成的副产物、工业和畜牧业活动释放的物质，以及排放到污水中的治疗药物等。本综述讨论了水中 EDCs 的存在情况，如消毒副产物、含氟化合物、双酚 A、邻苯二甲酸酯、农药和雌激素，并概述了它们对非人类动物和人类的不良生殖影响。
