Our world and bodies are becoming increasingly polluted with chemicals capable of interfering with our hormones and thus, possibly, our present and future neural and mental health. This book focuses on if and how these chemicals, known as endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), affect the development and function of the brain and might be contributing to neural disorders rapidly rising in prevalence. It provides an overall synthesis of the EDC field including its historical roots, major hypotheses, key findings, public health policy implications, and research gaps.

Autorenporträt
Heather B. Patisaul, PhD, is a Professor of Biological Sciences at North Carolina State University. She has participated on several national and international expert panels and workshops related to health effects associated with EDCs, including the 2010 World Health Organization Expert Panel on the health risks of Bisphenol A, and the 2012 Workshop on Low Dose Effects of Endocrine Active Chemicals co-organized by the US National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences/NIH and the Joint Research Centre's Institute for Health and Consumer Protection. She was the chair of the 2016 Gordon Conference on Environmental Endocrine Disruptors and a member of the National Research Council Committee on Incorporating 21st Century Science Into Risk-Based Evaluations. Scott M. Belcher, PhD, is a Professor of Biological Sciences at North Carolina State University. He has served on numerous national and international expert panels and workshops related to health effects of EDCs, including being Chair of the 2007 In vitro Mechanism Focus Group at the Chapel Hill Expert panel on BPA's Risk to Human Health; Lead Discussant for the US EPA-FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel of Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program Tier-1 Battery; and member of the 2010 World Health Organization Expert Panel on the health risks of Bisphenol A. In 2015 he was a presenting member at the European Commission's LIFE EDESIA Workshop on The Role of in vitro Functional Assays for the Assessment of Endocrine Disruption.
