Endocrine Disruptors - Changing the path of life on the planet!
From: http://worldwildlife.org/toxics/progareas/ed/index.htm
Simply put... Endocrine disruptors are synthetic chemicals that block, mimic or otherwise interfere with naturally produced hormones, the body's chemical messengers, that control how an organism develops and functions. Wildlife and humans are exposed daily to these pervasive chemicals that have already caused numerous adverse effects in wildlife and are most likely affecting humans as well.
