Women in Europe for a Common Future (WECF) have released an English version of a film about pregnancy and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). The film, also available in German and Dutch, gives practical advice for pregnant women on how to avoid EDCs.
Although hormone-disrupting chemicals are recognised as a global public health threat by the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Commission's public consultation on the matter, which closes today (16 January), is only meant to delay action and regulation, argues Génon K. Jensen.
As governments, industry and public interest groups from across the globe prepare to meet next week to discuss endocrine disrupting chemicals and other international chemical safety issues, the Endocrine Society and IPEN released a new guide documenting the threat endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) pose to human health.
