Jul 20, 2021 · The analyzed literature shows that estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), and synthetic ethinyloestradiol (EE2) are the most significant in terms of environmental impact. Potential sources of contamination are, among others, livestock farms, slaughterhouses, and large urban agglomerations.

In the last two decades there has been a growing awareness of the possible adverse effects in humans a nd wildlife from exposure to chemicals t hat can interfere with the endocrine system. These effects can include: 1. developmental malformations; 2. interference with reproduction; 3. increased cancer risk; and 4. disturbances in the immune and ner...
Scientific research on human epidemiology, laboratory animals, and fish and wildlife suggests that environmental contaminants can disrupt the endocrine system, leading to adverse health consequences. It is important to gain a better understanding of what concentrations of chemicals found in the environment may cause an adverse effect. Various types...
One example of the devastating consequences of the exposure of developing animals, including humans, to endocrine disruptors is the case of the potent drug diethylstilbestrol (DES), a synthetic estrogen. Prior to its ban in the early 1970s, doctors mistakenly prescribed DES to as many as five million pregnant women to block spontaneous abortion and...
May 1, 1997 · Furthermore, environmental antiestrogens would balance out many of the harmful effects of environmental estrogens . Using calculations of “estrogen equivalents,” he concludes that the exposure level to environmental estrogens is trivial in comparison with estrogen levels used in therapeutic settings and even thousands-fold lower than the ...

Feb 1, 2017 · Arguably, animal manure is the largest source of estrogen hormones in the natural environment. Certainly, poultry, cow and horse manure may contain the greatest amount of steroidal estrogens ( Andaluri et al., 2012 ). About 49 tons of estrogens were excreted by farm animals in the USA in 2002.

Jun 6, 2019 · Today, most countries have banned the use of DDT primarily over ecological concerns (Rogan and Chen, 2005). Although its common trade name is DDT, technical grade DDT typically contains a mixture of several isomers with the largest percentage of the mixture being attributed to p,p′-DDT (Harada et al., 2016).
Sep 15, 2017 · Estrogen receptors alpha (ERα) and beta (ERβ) are the two main transducers of estrogen action and therefore important targets for these estrogen-like endocrine disrupters. More than 70% of human breast cancers are ERα-positive and estrogen-dependent, and their development and growth are not only influenced by endogenous estrogens but also likely by environmental estrogen-like endocrine ...
