New Practice Prevention Column: Endocrine-disrupting Chemicals - Oct 1, 2009
The Learning and Developmental Disabilities Initiative (LDDI) of the Collaborative on Health and the Environment has published a new Practice Prevention column detailing the links between learning and developmental disabilities and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs).
Based on the seminal scientific statement from the Endocrine Society published in June 2009 indicating strong associations between EDC exposures and a wide range of chronic diseases and disabilities, the column makes the scientific information about EDCs accessible for non-scientists. Written for parents, educators, child-care providers and others who are responsible for children's well-being, this column describes how children are exposed to EDCs and how to reduce exposures.
