Endocrine Disruptors and Environmental Hormones

Endocrine disruptors are chemicals in the environment that interfere with hormone function, often mimicking or blocking natural hormones. These include pesticides, plastics (like BPA), and industrial pollutants. They have been linked to reproductive issues, obesity, thyroid dysfunction, and developmental abnormalities. Research is ongoing to assess their long-term impact, promote regulation, and encourage safer alternatives.
