“…It is now well known that, like hormones, EDCs can act at a low dose, may have non-monotonic dose responses, can target specific tissues, can show different effects and dose responses during development in adults, and are likely not to have a threshold [ 4 , 5 ]. They are present in daily products, such as food cans, metals [ 2 , 6 ], industrial chemicals and other chemicals [ 1 , 2 ], perfumes (which may contain phthalates), sunscreen containing parabens and alkylphenols, drugs (containing nonylphenol), flame retardants (which may contain PCBs), recycled paper, plastic bottles (which may contain polycarbonate and bisphenol A (BPA)), lubricants (where nonylphenol may be present), plastics and food packaging, and hospital instruments (which may contain phthalates) [ 3 , 7 ].
