Abnormalities in reproductive systems in wild animals, which are suspected to be caused by agricultural chemicals and insecticides, have been reported in various parts of the world. Materials leached from plastics behave like estrogen, a female hormone and have created many concerns regarding potential adverse effects on human bodies. These substances as a whole are called “Environmental Endocrine Disruptors”. It is suspected that they manifest hormone-like actions within animal bodies, inflicting adverse effects on reproductive functions and nervous and immuno systems. These substances are also called “environmental hormones” as they are present in the environment.
Chemical substances suspected to be environmental hormones have been detected from the eluates of many readily available plastic material. Research to cope with the situation is being carried out on a global scale.
TCI supplies a number of these Endocrine disruptors to aid researchers who are studying the problems.
