环境激素类物质对人类健康的影响

Influences of environmental hormones on human health

环境激素是具有生物体内分泌激素干扰作用的一大类化学物质。环境激素在环境中普遍存在,不仅对生物的繁殖具有一定影响,而且还对生物的许多行为和感知能力产生影响。论文综述了近年来国内外有关环境激素的研究进展,综合分析了环境激素对人类健康的影响,阐述了其作用机理,并探讨了环境激素类物质控制和管理途径。

Environmental hormones （ERs） include a wide variety of chemicals to act as endocrine disruptors in a diverse range of organisms. ERs have become ubiquitous in the environment, and these endocrine disrupting chemicals （EDCs） not only have harmful effects on the reproduce ability, but also affect a wide range of behaviors and cognitive abilities. This review summarizes the recent reports in ERs, and analyzes the harmful effects of ERs on human health. The possible action mechanisms of ERs are also described. Furthermore, control and management of ERs pollution are discussed in this paper.
