Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals: From Basic Research to Clinical Practice
is the first book that provides comprehensive coverage of the three most
important themes in the field of EDC research: the basic biology of
EDCs, particularly their effects on reproductive systems; EDC effects on
humans and wildlife, including biomedical considerations; and potential
interventions and practical advice for dealing with the problem of EDCs.
This book presents a translational approach to EDC research, spanning
both basic biology and clinical applications, and provides a critical
link between the laboratory and the physicians' office. Scientists and
physicians engaged in EDC studies or practice will find that this volume
offers insight across all areas of EDC research, including clarifying
the mechanisms for EDC effects, understanding the adverse affects of
EDCs on humans and wildlife, and offering solutions to the problems
created by exposures to EDCs.
