Mixture effects of endocrine disrupters in animal models

Hass Ulla

Risk assessment of chemicals based on no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) from animal models is normally done for one chemical at a time, but several endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been detected in mixtures in humans.For combinations of EDCs with similar mechanism, there is clear evidence that mixture effects can arise at doses around NOAELs. Also, the mixture effects can be predicted based on dose-addition.There i...

EDCs: assessing the risks of exposure to environmental chemicals and pharmaceuticals

Mitchell Rod

Many industrial chemicals and pharmaceutical products have been proposed to result in endocrine disruption in humans. This includes potential effects on reproductive development in males and females. Chemicals that have been proposed to impact on male reproductive development include plasticizers, synthetic oestrogens and analgesics. Much of the data on the effect of exposure to these agents are based on studies conducted in rodent models; however, confirmation of such finding...
