Plastics derived endocrine‐disrupting compounds and their effects on early development
Birth Defects Research, Volume 112, Issue 17, Page 1308-1325, October 2020., 2020 Abstract Despite the fact that the estrogenic effects of bisphenols were first described 80 years ago, recent data about its potential negative impact on birth outcome parameters raises a strong rationale to investigate further. The adverse health effects of plastics recommend to measure the impacts of endocrine‐disrupting compounds (EDCs) such as ...
