摘要

In reaction to growing evidence that environmental pollutants that interfere with the endocrine system can harm the health of humans and wildlife species, Congress this past summer gave EPA a tight timetable for action. Within two years, the agency must develop a strategy to screen and test common chemicals for endocrine disrupter effects, and the program must be implemented just one year after that. EPA has already begun to decide which of the nearly 80,000 commercial chemicals should be tested for hormonal activity. According to Lynn Goldman, assistant administrator of EPA's Office of Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxic Substances, her office has already whittled that number down to about 17,000 common chemicals that are in commerce at high volume. She plans to further shrink this number by focusing on chemicals found in drinking water, food, ambient air, or household products. EPA researchers are also scrutinizing the three-dimensional structures of known endocrine disrupters to look for similar traits that can be used to predict which groups of chemicals are likely to have hormonal effects.
