Endocrine Disruption and Human Health
About this book
**Selected for Doody's Core Titles® 2024 in Endocrinology/Metabolic Disease**Updated with new and expanded chapters, Endocrine Disruption and Human Health, Second Edition provides an introduction to what endocrine disruptors are, the issues surrounding them, the source of these chemicals in the ecosystem and the mechanisms of action and assay systems. Contributions by specialists are included to discuss the varying effects of endocrine disruption on human health, and procedures for risk assessment of endocrine disruptors, and current approaches to their regulation are also covered.
With new material on topics such as low-term, low dose mixtures, windows of susceptibility, epigenetics, EDCs effect on the gut microbiome, EDCs in from polluted air and oral exposures, green chemistry, and nanotechnology, the new edition of Endocrine Disruption and Human Health is a valuable and informative text for academic and clinical researchers and other health professionals approaching endocrine disruption and its effects on human health for the first time, graduate students, and advanced undergraduate students.
- Provides readers with access to a range of information from the basic mechanisms and assays through to cutting-edge research investigating concerns for human health
- Presents a comprehensive, translational look at all aspects of endocrine disruption and its effects on human health
- Offers guidance on the risk assessment of endocrine disruptors and current relevant regulatory considerations
- Newly added content on topics like low-term, low dose mixtures, windows of susceptibility to EDCs, EDCs effect on the gut microbiome, green chemistry, and nanotechnology
