Substances perturbatrices du système endocrinien

Un composé chimique exogène ou un mélange de

composés qui altère une ou des fonctions du système

endocrinien des organismes et qui cause des effets

néfastes sur la santé des organismes vivants, sur leur

progéniture ou sur une partie de la population.

Les effets des EDCsEffets hormono-dépendants :

Estrogène (xénoestrogène);Thyroïde;

• Féminisation des espèces aquatiques;• Diminution de l’épaisseur de la coquilles des œufs chez lesoiseaux;• Diminution du nombre de spermatozoïdes chez l’humain…
