Our endocrine system controls many basic body functions and plays a key role in reproduction and development. Disruption of this system can have profound effects on individuals, but also on whole populations and ecosystems. It is for this reason that there is such concern over the use of chemicals with the potential to disrupt the endocrine system and cause adverse toxic effects on animal and human health.
