Review of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds (EDCs) in China's water environments: Implications for environmental fate, transport and health risks

open access: yesWater Research, 2023
Endocrine Disrupting Compounds (EDCs) are ubiquitous in soil and water system and have become a great issue of environmental and public health concern since the 1990s.

EDCs Mixtures: A Stealthy Hazard for Human Health? [PDF]

open access: yesToxics, 2017
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous chemicals that may occur naturally (e.g., phytoestrogens), while others are industrial substances and plasticizers commonly utilized worldwide to which human exposure, particularly at low-doses, is ...

Effect of transpiration on plant accumulation and translocation of PPCP/EDCs [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Pollution, 2015
The reuse of treated wastewater for agricultural irrigation in arid and hot climates where plant transpiration is high may affect plant accumulation of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs).

EDCs and male urogenital cancers

2021
Male sex determination and sexual differentiation occur between 6-12 weeks of gestation. During the "male programming window" the fetal testes start to produce testosterone that initiates the development of the male reproductive tract. Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) able to mimic or disrupt steroid hormone actions may disrupt ...

Occurrence and treatment trials of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in wastewaters

open access: yesChemosphere, 2005
This study demonstrates that both synthetic and natural endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) (e.g., bisphenol A, estrone and 17β-estradiol) were found in the crude wastewaters from two wastewater treatment works (WwTWs).

FATE OF EDCS IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND EU PERSPECTIVE ON EDC REGULATION

Proceedings of the Water Environment Federation, 2005
Municipal wastewater is one of the main exposure routes that brings the most important EDCs like natural and artificial hormones via urine, ingredients of personal care products and detergent via grey water (e.g. alkylphenol) and ubiquitous industrial chemicals (e.g. Bisphenyl A) into the environment.Whether trace pollutants can be eliminated in a WWTP

Description of EDCS technology clusters

ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 1997
Evolutionary Systems are those that are capable of accomodating change over an extended system lifetime with reduced risk and cost/schedule impact. Most of our complex defense systems depend on software for their successful operation and, as a result, the software in those systems is the prmary vehicle for adapting to change.

The EDC Option

1999
No issue in the history of British policy towards the arming of the Federal Republic is more controversial than that of the postwar Churchill government’s attitude towards the European Defence Community. A number of members of that administration subsequently claimed that Britain’s refusal to join the Community demonstrated a lack of commitment to the ...
