Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are environmental toxicants found in a wide variety of materials and items. They include pesticides (e.g. DDT, DDE), herbicides (e.g. atrazine), plasticizers (bisphenol A and other phthalates) and PCBs (Dominguez 2019), among others. Everyday household items such as non-biodegradable detergents and personal care products can contain EDCs (Khetan 2014). For instance, phthalate BPA (bisphenol A) and similar substances are widely used as softeners (‘plasticizers’) to create flexibility in PVC items such as plastic bags, shower curtains, cables and Tupperware containers. They are also used in liners for food cans, Teflon pans, baby bottles and a variety of cosmetics. These chemical compounds enter the food chain, for example, through plastic breakages, spurred on by heat, frost or age, off-gassing into household air, or through manufacturing effluents. They enter human and animal bodies, where they disrupt endocrine signalling pathways. Consequently, EDCs affect the well-being of aquatic, aerial and terrestrial ecosystems....
