Endocrine-disrupting chemicals could be costing billions in female reproductive health problems.Uterine fibroids and endometriosis have both been positively correlated with EDC's. These chemicals are causing a disruption in female reproductive health

What are Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDC)?

They are mostly man-made and have been found in various materials including: pesticides, metals, additives, and contaminants in food and personal care products.

For starters, they interfere with the endocrine system in mammals. They have the known potential to cause cancerous tumors, birth defects and developmental disorders.

They have the ability to knock any bodily system controlled by hormones off track.

How are they affecting the reproductive system?

In a study at Washington State University, researchers estimate that 20%-39% of endometriosis and fibroids are due to EDC exposure. They estimated that the combined health care and economic costs for dealing with the two diseases well exceeds a billion dollars per year.

These chemicals have harmful effects on both the male and female reproductive systems and contribute to negative effects on life span, neurological development, obesity and diabetes.

Why do we have EDC's in anything?

Researchers are in the process of setting a criteria for identifying endocrine-disrupting chemicals. This would allow for guidelines to be created for the regulation of these chemicals

A program has also been set up to review evidence on EDC's and to take action by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
