There is great concern regarding the reproductive and health
hazards of endocrine disruptors. Research indicates that men are
experiencing declining fertility and an increased incidence of
prostate cancer, while women are dealing with increased
infertility, early menopause, and breast cancer. As new research
reveals the previously unknown risks of these endocrine disruptors,
it is imperative to update our knowledge of these controversial
chemicals.

Endocrine Disruptors: Effects on Male and Female Reproductive
Systems, Second Edition examines the reproductive and health
hazards of endocrine-disrupting environmental chemicals from
epidemiology to etiology, concluding with future directions.
Divided into two sections, the first part of the book describes the
effects of environmental toxicants on the female reproductive
system, with an emphasis on the effects and mechanisms of their
action on sex differentiation during development, fertility, and
breast cancer. The second part addresses the effects of endocrine
disruption on the male reproductive system, focusing on male
fertility and the development of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH)
and prostate cancer.

Leading authorities contribute expert analyses and up-to-date
information on a topic that has become a major concern among the
scientific community and the general public. This second edition
supplies the most current, critical knowledge on the real risks
that endocrine disruptors pose to the population.
