Endocrine disruptors

The number of molecules classified as endocrine disruptors is on the rise, and they are found everywhere in the environment. Their effects on human health are still poorly understood, but they are now widely suspected of contributing to numerous chronic and developmental disorders.

Our missions

  • Characterize the health impacts of endocrine disruptors

  • Generate useful knowledge on population exposure to endocrine disruptors

  • Inform public authorities and the public

Health Issues

The entire population is exposed to endocrine disruptors (EDs), chemicals used in household products, electronics, packaging, coatings, pesticides, medications, hygiene products, and more. EDs from all these sources are ubiquitous in the natural environment (water, air, soil)...

Assessing and preventing the potential health impacts of endocrine disruptors, as well as other chemicals, are among the major public health challenges today.
