This paper argues that environmental contamination by endocrine-disrupting chemicals causes reproductive dysfunction in wildlife, urging scientists and legislators to strengthen regulations and testing protocols despite perceptions of reduced health threats.

Abstract

There is an increasing perception that environmental contamination by chemicals no longer poses a significant health threat and that relaxation of environmental regulations is warranted. However, many wildlife populations are showing signs of developmental, behavioral, and reproductive dysfunction due to environmental contamination by endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Scientists, regulators, and legislators must mobilize to identify current health threats posed by environmental pollutants, develop testing protocols that will detect such properties of new chemicals, and strengthen legislation designed to protect environmental health.
