An assessment prepared by an expert group on behalf of the World Health Organization, the International Labour Organisation, and the United Nations Environment Programme

Overview

This report focuses on the global peer-reviewed scientific literature where the associations between environmental exposures and adverse outcomes have been demonstrated or hypothesized to occur via mechanisms of endocrine disruption. Endocrine disruption is not considered a toxicological end point per se but a functional change that may lead to adverse effects.
