This book lists the major environmental chemicals of concern and their mechanism of endocrine disruption including remedial measures for them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivided into three parts, \u003ci\u003eEndocrine Disruptors in the Environment\u003c\/i\u003e begins with an overview of the endocrine system and endocrine disruptors, discussing their salient features and presenting a historical perspective of endocrine disruption phenomena. It then goes on to cover hormone- signaling mechanisms, followed by various broad classes of putative endocrine disruptors, before introducing readers to environmental epigenetic modifications. Part two of the book focuses on removal processes of various EDCs by biotic and abiotic transformation\/degradation. The last section consists of four chapters embracing themes on finding solutions to environmental EDCs--including their detection, regulation, replacement, and remediation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEndocrine Disruptors in the Environment\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to detail the endocrine effects of several known environmental contaminants and their mechanism of endocrine disruption.
