It highlights how these endocrine disruptors can interfere with hormonal processes, potentially affecting reproductive and developmental health.
The book connects environmental science, biology, and public health to demonstrate the far-reaching implications of chemical exposure from everyday items.
For example, even low levels of phthalates can pose a threat, emphasizing the need for safer alternatives.
The book journeys from the chemistry of phthalates to their effects on biological systems, starting with an overview of the endocrine system.
It then examines scientific research linking phthalate exposure to various health issues, including reproductive and developmental disorders.
What sets Hormones Face Disruption apart is its focus on detergents as a key source of phthalate exposure, a connection often overlooked.
The book progresses by exploring strategies to reduce exposure and advocate for safer products, empowering readers to make informed choices.
