Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that can interfere with the endocrine system, the body's network of hormone-producing glands, and thereby disrupt the hormonal balance. These substances can mimic, block, or otherwise interfere with the body's natural hormones, including testosterone, estrogen, and thyroid hormones, leading to a variety of health issues. Endocrine disruptors are found in a wide range of sources, including pesticides, industrial chemicals, plastics (such as bisphenol A, or BPA), and personal care products. Exposure to these chemicals can lead to reproductive health problems, developmental issues, immune system disruption, and metabolic disorders, among others. In men, endocrine disruptors can affect testosterone levels and function, potentially leading to decreased sperm count, reduced fertility, and other reproductive health issues. They may also contribute to conditions such as obesity and diabetes by disrupting the hormonal regulation of metabolism. The widespread presence of endocrine disruptors in the environment and consumer products has raised significant concerns about their impact on public health, prompting efforts to limit exposure and regulate the use of these chemicals.
