    Glossary Endocrine Disruptors

    substances that interfere with hormone regulation in the body

    Endocrine Disruptors, also known as Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), are substances that can interfere with the endocrine system, which regulates hormones in the body. These chemicals can mimic, block, or alter hormone signals, potentially leading to a variety of health issues such as reproductive disorders, developmental problems, and even certain cancers. They are found in many everyday products, including plastics, pesticides, and personal care items.
