Endocrine‐Disrupting Chemicals: Associated Disorders and Mechanisms of Action

Journal of Environmental and Public Health, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The incidence and/or prevalence of health problems associated with endocrine‐disruption have increased. Many chemicals have endocrine‐disrupting properties, including bisphenol A, some organochlorines, polybrominated flame retardants, perfluorinated substances, alkylphenols, phthalates, pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, alkylphenols ...

Prenatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) may influence birth weight among infants in a Swedish cohort with background exposure: a cross-sectional study [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants, e.g. polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) has been suggested to negatively affect birth weight although epidemiological evidence is still inconclusive.

PCB-containing wood floor finish is a likely source of elevated PCBs in residents' blood, household air and dust: a case study of exposure [PDF]

, 2008
Background Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent pollutants identified worldwide as human blood and breast milk contaminants. Because they bioaccumulate, consumption of meat, fish, and dairy products predicts human blood concentrations.

Preconceptional and in utero exposure of sheep to a real‐life environmental chemical mixture disrupts key markers of energy metabolism in male offspring

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2024.
Developmental exposure to environmental chemical mixture within biosolids affects energy and lipid metabolism in adult male offspring. Abstract Over recent decades, an extensive array of anthropogenic chemicals have entered the environment and have been implicated in the increased incidence of an array of diseases, including metabolic syndrome.
