| Summary |
Addresses the biological effects of the large number of compounds that have been recognized as endocrine disrupters. This book presents the relevant fundamentals of the endocrine systems of animals and humans, the toxicology, developmental toxicology, ecology, and risk assessment methods, and lays out the state of understanding for the field |
