    This is just the index, but the WHO has attempted to pinpoint which hormone compounds are most effective EEDs, and which hormones are most often mimicked. Discusses EED effects on wildlife as well as humans. Criteria for assessment of endocrine disruptors proposed for future studies.

    At this upcoming conference and past conferences (see conference history), top scientists, studying endocrine disruption effects on humans and wildlife, meet to share the latest findings. Look over the program for topics and scientists - may be useful in identifying a topic for your project. I have attended two of these conferences and they were excellent and very current.

  • DDT and DDE are probable human carcinogens and endocrine disrupters.
  • Mercury is not known to be a carcinogen, but it is toxic to the fetuses of humans and animals.
  • ercury in Lake Huron fish has caused fish consumption advisories and has been detected in Lake Huron water, sediment and wildlife.

    Although the use of DDT was banned a long time ago, it is still negatively affecting wild life. This page adds more detail to what we saw in the film, "The Estrogen Effect: Assault on the Male."

    Under the metals section, there is a short description of heavy metals. These metals are known to damage organisms, and as shown in some of our mini-presentations, can act as EEDs. For example, erythropoietin's functions are inhibited by lead as an EED.
