Extractions: Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with the normal function of hormones and the way hormones control growth, metabolism and body functions. There are different ways that chemicals can interfere with or disrupt hormones, and there are different kinds of chemicals that disrupt. There are more than 70,000 chemicals in commerce, few of which have been tested for carcinogenicity, much less their capacity to disrupt endocrine systems. Hormone disrupting compounds CASCADE Network of Excellence The CASCADE Network of Excellence, launched in February 2004 within EU's sixth framework programme, aims to provide Europeans with a durable, comprehensive and independent network of excellence in research, risk assessment, and education on health risks that are associated with exposure to chemical residues in food. Focus lies on chemicals that act via and/or interfere with cellular regulation by hormone receptors.

Extractions: Hog farming is a significant agricultural activity in Canada, with the size of operations expected to increase substantially in the near future. This will not only mean more pork, but also more hog-generated organic waste, which is traditionally disposed of as manure for field crops. Source: Statistics Canada, Historical Overview of Canadian Agriculture, 1997 The concern, according to Environment Canada scientists, is that pig manure can contain high concentrations of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, including natural estrogens. These chemicals have been proven through various studies to have long-term adverse effects on the growth, development and reproduction of fish and wildlife. Runoff from fields treated with pig manure can enter adjacent streams or other bodies of water, resulting in eutrophication or even acute toxicity. Scientists from Environment Canada's National Water Research Institute (NWRI) and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Ontario joined forces earlier this year to determine the persistence of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in soil after manure application and to establish the identity, exposure and effects of chemicals entering adjacent aquatic environments. Studies completed this spring confirmed the presence of high concentrations of these chemicals in hog manure, and showed that they begin to enter nearby waterways soon after manure has been applied to fields. Studies are currently under way to isolate and identify several unknown compounds that were detected to determine if they also pose a threat to aquatic environments.

Both natural and synthetic endocrine disruptors pollute the marine environment. They can cause abnormalities in reproduction, the immune system, sexual characteristics, growth and respiration in marine animals. There are a large range of chemicals with endocrine disrupting properties. These include naturally occurring hormones such as oestrogen, and synthetic chemicals like pesticides, fungicides and insecticides, drugs such as oral contraceptives, and industrial chemicals like tributyltin (TBT), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dioxins.

What is the Endocrine System? What are Hormones? What could be the possible Human Effects? ... Contact Info What are Endocrine Disruptors? Endocrine disruptors are man-made synthetic chemicals and natural phytoestrogens (naturally occurring plant-derived estrogen, a hormone) that interfere with the endocrine systems of humans and animals by mimicking, blocking and/or interfering in some manner with the natural instructions of hormones to cells. The resulting disruption creates many problems with physical development, sex, reproduction, brain development, behavior, temperature regulation and more. Other names for endocrine disruptors (EDs) are hormone mimics and hormone copycats. The bodies of animals and humans depend upon a complexly integrated and timed series of events, of which the delivery of hormones to various organs is vital. When the delivery timing and/or amount of a hormone is upset the results can be devastating and permanent. The most insidious of the EDs are man-made synthetic chemicals. We are routinely exposed to them in most areas of our daily lives at home, work and play. Known and suspected EDs come in things we have been led to believe have been thoroughly tested for the safety of our health and environment. These types of products include cosmetics, sunscreens, perfumes, soaps, detergents, solvents, dental sealants, pharmaceuticals such as birth control pills, clear plastic baby bottles, and some water bottles. The list of goes on to include many chemicals in plastics (PVC, polystyrene aka Styrofoam, and others) and pesticides (Monsanto's

Extractions: What are Endocrine Disruptors? Why does ORD have an Endocrine Disruptors Research Program? Evidence suggests that environmental exposure to EDCs may cause adverse health effects in human and wildlife populations. Considerable uncertainty exists regarding the relationship(s) between adverse health outcomes and exposure to environmental contaminants. In 1996, through the enactment of the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA), the U.S. Congress directed EPA to screen pesticides for estrogenic activity in humans using validated studies or other scientifically relevant information and gave the Agency discretionary authority to screen for other endocrine effects as well. The Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments (SWDA) of 1996, authorized EPA to screen drinking water contaminants for similar activities.

Extractions: Endocrine Disruptors Our Stolen Future: Are We Threatening Our Fertility, Intelligence ad Survival? by Theo Colborn, Diane Dumanoski and John Peterson Myers. The Endocrine System The endocrine system acts as the chemical messenger system for communication throughout our body. The main purpose of the endocrine system is to control and regulate body functions especially growth and development. This is accomplished through hormones, potent, biologically-active chemical messengers that in very small amounts can produce significant biological effects. Hormones are released from the brain, thyroid, ovaries, testes and other endocrine glands and then carries them through the bloodstream to the target cells and organs where they activate and regulate various functions. The system is made up of the pituitary gland which acts as a control center telling the ovaries or the thyroid when to send their signals and how much hormone to send. The pituitary gets its cues from another gland, the hypothalamus, which acts as a thermostat telling the pituitary to increase production, slow down or shut off. These messages travel back and forth continuously to keep all parts of the organism operating as one coordinated being. Hormones also guide the growth of a baby’s nervous system and immune system and "programs" organs and tissues such as the liver, blood, kidneys and muscles so they will function properly. During early development this regulation of growth and development is critical for a child. The thyroid hormone, for example, is essential for normal neurological function and development. Deficiencies of thyroid hormones during fetal development or during early infancy can lead to mental retardation, hearing loss and speech problems. Children with thyroid deficiencies, even those with normal IQ’s, can have language comprehension problems, impaired learning and memory and hyperactive behavior.

Extractions: Endocrine Disruptors Most EDs act like naturally occurring estrogens in the body. However, some EDs block androgens (male sex hormones such as testosterone). The theory of endocrine disruptors gained credibility from a number of studies demonstrating reproductive problems in wildlife exposed to certain environmental chemicals. For example, alligators exposed to an organochlorine pesticide, diclofol experienced various reproductive abnormalities. [3] Also, certain birds exposed to the organochlorine pesticide DDT failed to reproduce. [4] EDs are a diverse class of chemicals. They include:

Extractions: Research overview - Jim Waterman - BASIN In the Fall of 2004 several media reports on observations of abnormal fish gender distributions and development in Boulder Creek received considerable attention. Motivated by reports in the scientific literature regarding the impacts of elevated concentrations of hormonally active agents (HAA) on sexual development in various aquatic organisms a team of University of Colorado biologists lead by Dr's Woodling and Norris of CU's Integrative Physiology Department studied the gender distribution of the white sucker fish species above and below municipal waste water treatment plants on Boulder Creek, the South Platte River and Fountain Creek. Researchers also examined reproductive tissue in the fish samples and found evidence of abnormal development. This CU research has identified a local impact from wastewater treatment plant effluent that reflects a relatively new concern in the scientific community; the extent to which natural and anthropogenic compounds in sewage effluent impact the complex biological systems of chemical signaling agents (aka hormones) know as the endocrine system. BASIN has meet with the CU research team and assembled a summary of their results along with other research on these agents and their impacts on natural environments and its potential for human effects. While CU and USGS researchers have provided input for this review the information presented here is solely the responsibility of BASIN. Please

Extractions: A look at the endorine disrupting chemicals that build up in our bodies and affect the development of children in subtle but disturning ways. Dr Theo Colborn first described the theory of endocrine disruption in a book she co-authored with John Peterson Meyers and Dianne Dumanoski "our Stolen Future". Alexandra de Blas: Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that affect the bodys natural hormones. The mechanism behind endocrine disruption was first discovered in 1987, in a study of predators affected by pollution in the Great Lakes of North America. While the adults were healthy, disturbing things were happening to the young.
