| Abstract: | Many of the consumer products and their underlying chemistry that are a part of our daily lives have negative effects on the health of humans and animals. Environmental Contaminants and Endocrine Health focuses specifically on contaminants with hormonal disrupting activities. It provides insight into the multiple effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and their mechanism of action (MoA) on metabolism, reproduction and the multiple physiological roles of the endocannabinoid system which has recently been indicated as new target. Divided into four distinct sections the content systematically covers EDC sources and effects; EDCs as sources of disease and health impairment in laboratory models; EDCs as the cause of disease and health impairment in humans and wild species; and the removal of hazardous pollutants from wastewaters to highlight intervention, mitigation and adaptation for both reduced health threat and reduced environmental damage. Contents will contribute to the implementation and improvement of prevention efforts to reduce the health risk of EDCs as well as the reduction of the financial burden of endocrine disrupting related health care costs while helping to maintain the biodiversity of wild populations and ecosystems. This content will be a foundational resource for academic and research staff in endocrinology and hormone toxicology as well as for professors, researchers and students in these areas. Includes important foundational coverage of the endocrine system, definitions of EDC sources and descriptions, model examples and mechanisms of action biological effects Complete coverage of EDC effects in humans and animals from metabolic alterations to epidemiological studies of fertility and metabolism Provides insight into the confirmed and suspected human diseases spectrum with origins linked to EDC exposure including cancers, intellectual disabilities, autism, birth defects of the urethra (hypospadias), decreased sperm count, increased rates of miscarriage, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and more |
