Wissenschaftler und Ärzte schlagen weltweit Alarm wegen hormonstörender Chemikalien

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals, which harm the human body’s regulation of hormones, have become ubiquitous in consumer products, food, water, and soil, says a new report, leading to serious global health impacts. There are some 350,000 synthetic chemicals and polymers used worldwide, and thousands may be endocrine disruptors. Most were not studied for their human health effects before being marketed. Known and suspected endocrine disruptors are found in pesticides, plastic additives, cosmetics, and waterproofing finishes. The new report examines four sources of endocrine-disrupting chemicals: plastics, pesticides, consumer products, and PFAS. Rising rates of cancer, infertility, and obesity are suspected to be at least partially attributable to the presence of endocrine disruptors in the human body. The Endocrine Society and International Pollutants Elimination Network (IPEN), which co-authored the new report, are calling for legally binding global treaties to restrict and ban endocrine disruptor production and use.

Typical human move.  Introduce deadly poison into a variety of products.  Aggressively suppress data suggesting a link to health problems for decades.  Then  after the toxic products are utterly universal and all the frogs are gay (joking here ) send out a shrug emoji and claim you didn’t know any better.  

Plenty of scientists knew better and the endocrine disrupting properties of polyhalogenated compounds are old news.
