Firm human evidence on harms of endocrine-disrupting chemicals was unlikely to be obtainable for methodological reasons

摘要

Background and Objective: Despite plausible laboratory evidence about harms of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), systematic reviews and meta-analyses of epidemiological studies do not consistently find such harms. The purpose of this article was to discuss why solid human evidence on EDCs was unlikely to be obtainable even though they are truely harmful to humans.
