Abstract

Numerous chemicals used in pesticides, plastic, and other products have been shown to have the capacity to disrupt the endocrine system in wildlife and laboratory animals. These chemicals can permanently disrupt development, resulting in abnormal organ function and disease. Effects that have been observed in wildlife and in controlled experiments conducted in laboratory animals exposed to pesticides, plastics, and other chemicals include abnormal gonadal function and reduced fertility.
