To provide additional clarity on the health effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals as well as recommendations for increasing understanding and raising awareness of these effects, see The Endocrine Society’s Scientific Statement on endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
The Society’s Scientific Statements are designed to educate basic scientists, clinical scientists, and clinicians about the scientific evidence for the basis of disease. This evidence can also be applied in the practice of medicine with regard to both prevention and management.
