Article Abstract:

There is a lack of data giving accurate assessments of the risk to public health posed by endocrine disrupters according to the US National Research Council (NRC). A panel of experts agreed that some of the chemicals may have adverse effects on the reproduction and development of wildlife at high doses. The Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) argues that such chemicals can have extremely adverse effects in in small doses.
