Diet is an important exposure route of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), but many unfiltered potential EDCs remain in food. The in silico prediction of EDCs is a popular method for preliminary screening. Potential EDCs in food were screened using Endocrine Disruptome, an open-source platform ...
(BRUSSELS) –Drinking water will have to be monitored more closely for the potential presence of two endocrine disrupting compounds throughout the whole water supply chain, following an EU decision Wednesday. As required by EU rules on drinking water in force since last year, the European Commissi...

EDCs (Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals) Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that can obstruct with endocrine systems at certain doses. These disruptions can cause tumorous, birth defects, and other developmental disorders. Any system in the body well-ordered by hormones can be derailed by hormone ...
A novel amphibian tier 2 testing protocol: A 30-week exposure of Xenopus tropicalis to the antiandrogen flutamide In 1996, the U.S. Congress mandated the development of a screening program for endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) using validated test systems. Subseque... PL Knechtges,RL Spran...
On October 16, 2024, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) announced that the Member State Committee (MSC) agreed at the October meeting to identify triphenyl phosphate (TPP) as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) because of its endocrine disrupting properties in the environment. ECHA plans...
ECHA identifies melamine as an SVHC because it has carcinogenic properties and may be endocrine disrupting. The risks that it may pose include damage to organs with repeated exposure, cancer, and damage to unborn children. Here are some examples of products that may contain melamine: ...
