Worldwide concerns have arisen over the potential endocrine disrupting effects of synthetic chemicals on the en-docrine system of wildlife and human. Strategies for environmental management of endocrine disrupting chemicals(EDCs) adopted by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, the European Union, the Ministry of Environment of Japan, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development,the World Health Organization and the United Nations Environ-ment Program,and their progresses were reviewed and summarized. It was found that they had worked out national imple-mentation plans for EDCs,established strategies for testing and assessment and criteria for identification of EDCs, devel-oped and validated a large number of testing methods,adapted and amended relevant laws and regulations for EDCs man-agement,respectively,in the light of their own specific situations. Based on the current situation of EDCs management in China and progresses in researches of this field abroad,some suggestions on strategies for EDCs environmental management were hereby brought forth.%人工合成化学品引发的环境内分泌干扰效应引起了全世界的广泛关注.系统总结了美国环境保护局、欧盟、日本环境省、经济合作与发展组织、世界卫生组织和联合国环境规划署等有关环境内分泌干扰物(EDCs)的环境管理措施与进展,它们根据各自的情况制定了国家层面的实施计划,建立了EDCs测试与评估策略及识别标准,发展和验证了大量EDCs测试方法,并对相关法律法规进行修订补充以实现对EDCs的管理等.根据我国关于EDCs的研究管理现状及国外研究管理进展,提出了我国采取相关EDCs管制措施的几点建议.
