Low Doses of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds: Implications for the Chemical Enterprise

Introduction

Dr. Pete Myers, Professor at Carnegie Mellon University and Chief Scientist at Environmental Health Sciences, spoke at PerkinElmer’s Global Environmental Sciences Summit and provided insights into the effects that endocrine disrupting compounds can have on environmental and human health even at low does. His presentation includes a look at the effects of endocrine disrupters on human body, where we are exposed to these compounds and what we can do to reduce the use of endocrine disrupting compounds in common materials.
