Abstract :
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) found in various products, including electronics, carpets, paints, cosmetics, and plastics, can disrupt human endocrine systems, potentially affecting reproductive health, thyroid function, metabolic alterations, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, impaired brain development, compromised immune responses, and cancers in hormone-sensitive tissues. Exposure to EDCs during gestation and early postnatal life has significant impacts, and hazardous compounds in plastics can lead to further damage.
