Quadpandemic I — Estrogen & Endocrine Disruption
Endocrine-active chemicals are widely measurable in the population; their health effects must be evaluated exposure by exposure.
Key points
- The Endocrine Exposure Intelligence Center separates three variables that are usually collapsed together: whether an exposure is detected, whether the substance has known or potential endocrine activity, and how strong the evidence is that the exposure contributes to a disease.
- Estrogenic & anti-estrogenic activity
- Androgenic & anti-androgenic activity
- Thyroid-disrupting activity
- Biomonitoring context

iDetection of an exposure does not establish that it caused a disease. This platform separates exposure, association, plausible mechanism, clinical evidence and demonstrated causation.
