Endocrine disruptors

Descripción

"Endocrine Disruptors: Effects on Male and Female Reproductive Systems examines the epidemiology and etiology of environmental toxicants, or "hormone imposters," many of which act as reproductive toxicants that cause fertility problems. This book addresses alarming issues such as declining global fertility; rising incidences of breast and prostate cancer; and the wide variety of toxic effects that the synthetic chemicals, termed endocrine disruptors, exert on the gonads, fertility, and sexual and reproductive function."--Jacket.
