Abstract The Endocrine Society's first Scientific Statement in 2009 provided a wake-up call to
the scientific community about how environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs)�…

Microplastic contamination is ubiquitous in aquatic and terrestrial environments, found in
water, sediments, within organisms and in the atmosphere and the biological effects on�…

The widespread use of plastics determines the inevitable human exposure to its by-
products, including microplastics (MPs), which enter the human organism mainly by�…

Phthalates (diesters of phthalic acid) are widely used as plasticizers and additives in many
consumer products. Laboratory animal studies have reported the endocrine-disrupting and�…

Phthalates are a huge class of chemicals with a wide spectrum of industrial uses, from the
manufacture of plastics to food contact applications, children's toys, and medical devices�…

It is predicted that Japan and European Union will soon experience appreciable decreases
in their populations due to persistently low total fertility rates (TFR) below replacement level�…

Because of their large and widespread application, phthalates or phthalic acid esters (PAEs)
are ubiquitous in all the environmental compartements. They have been widely detected�…

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous in aquatic and terrestrial
environments. The main objective of this review was to summarize the current knowledge of�…

Phthalates are plasticizers in various products and regarded as endocrine disruptors due to
their anti-androgen effects. Environmental occurrence and toxicities of parent phthalates�…

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are released into the environment from different
sources. They are mainly used in packaging industries, pesticides and food constituents�…
