This book investigates the complex and pervasive issue of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and their impact on environmental health. Drawing from a seminar held in Kos, Greece, it synthesizes current knowledge on the sources, mechanisms, and health consequences of exposure to these substances. The work aims to provide a comprehensive overview for researchers, policymakers, and public health professionals.

This collection of papers, stemming from a 1999 seminar, represents a snapshot of scientific understanding regarding endocrine disruptors at the turn of the millennium. The contributions likely offer detailed scientific analyses and discussions on the toxicology and environmental impact of these chemicals. The scope suggests a text aimed at specialists and researchers in environmental health, toxicology, and endocrinology, providing foundational knowledge and highlighting areas for further investigation.
