The endocrine system is a collection of glands that produce hormones. These hormones regulate our metabolism, growth and development. EDCs interfere with hormonal function, and have been shown to cause adverse health and environmental effects. Chemicals meet many of our daily needs. From the products we buy, to the environments we live and work in, every day we are faced with choices. The best way to
protect yourself, your family and the environment is to make informed decisions. This document is a collection of four factsheets including:
1) Places We Work and Live: Indoor exposure to EDCs; 2) Things We Make: Industrial discharges of EDCs; 3) Things We Grow: Agricultural exposure to EDCs; and 4) Things We Buy: Consumer products that may contain EDCs.
