Last December the Endocrine Society and IPEN, a leading global network of 700 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working to establish and implement safe chemicals policies and practices, collaborated on the publication of Introduction to Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs): A Guide for Public Interest Organizations and Policy Makers. The purpose of the Guide is to raise global awareness about EDCs and help global policy makers, government leaders, and public interest organizations better understand what EDCs are and the impact EDCs have on human health. Authors of the Guide are Endocrine Society members: Andrea Gore, PhD, David Crews, PhD, Loretta Doan, PhD, Michele La Merrill, PhD, MPH, Health Patisaul, PHD, and Ami Zota, ScD, MS.
We are pleased to announce that the Guide is now available in a Spanish translation. Copies of the Guide in English and Spanish are available online.
The Endocrine Society and IPEN are disseminating the Guide and hope that greater awareness gained by its information will lead to additional programs to enhance knowledge of EDCs, to foster new research into the effects of these chemicals, and to promote a greater appreciation for the critical need for endocrine principles to be applied in formulating EDC policy and regulations.
