- Abstract
The article discusses the controversy over the effects of endocrine disrupter. It cites the study conducted by Frederick vom Saal, a neurobiologist at the University of Missouri-Columbia, on the contribution of low doses of endocrine disrupter on a wide range of human health problems. It notes other studies in which similar non-monotonic responses on a variety of endocrine disrupters, most notably BPA, an ubiquitous ingredient of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy coatings were identified.
