Long History
Halesworth U3A Science Study Group
� Rachel Carson – Silent Spring – 1962
� Led to the (eventual) banning of DDT
� Aldrin & Dieldrin
� Recognised as Persistent Organic Pollutants (‘POPs’) –use restricted from mid-1970s
� Organic Farming Movement (much broader intent)
� In UK, the Soil Association – set up in 1946, first standards, 1967

Key Concerns
Halesworth U3A Science Study Group
� The high incidence and the increasing trends of many endocrine-related disorders in humans;
� Observations of endocrine-related effects in wildlife populations;
� The identification of chemicals with endocrine disrupting properties linked to disease outcomes in laboratory studies.
WHO/UNEP (2012)

Definition
Halesworth U3A Science Study Group
� “An endocrine disruptor is an exogenous substance or mixture that alters function(s) of the endocrine system and consequently causes adverse health effects in an intact organism, or its progeny, or (sub) populations.”
International Programme on Chemical Safety, 2002

Industrial Chemicals
Halesworth U3A Science Study Group
� 70,000 to 100,000 chemicals in global commerce
� 5,000 produced in high volumes (> 1 million tonnes/year)
� 7,500 are ‘high-use chemicals’
� Less than 7% of these can be measured in people
� Many of those that can’t be measured are structurally similar to chemicals known to be dangerous
