Endocrine disruptors are chemical substances that can interfere with the hormonal systems of organisms. These disruptors may mimic, block, or modify the effects of natural hormones, leading to adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects. Common examples include certain pesticides, heavy metals, plastics (like BPA), and industrial chemicals. Endocrine disruptors can affect both wildlife and humans, contributing to a range of health issues such as infertility, developmental disorders, and hormonal imbalances. Their widespread presence in the environment raises concerns about their long-term impacts on health and ecosystems.
