Environmental impact of estrogens on human, animal and plant life: A critical review

Environment International, Journal Year: 2016, Volume and Issue: 99, P. 107 - 119

Since the inception of global industrialization, steroidal estrogens have become an emerging and serious concern. Worldwide, steroid including estrone, estradiol estriol, pose threats to soil, plants, water resources humans. Indeed, gained notable attention in recent years, due their rapidly increasing concentrations soil all over world. Concern has been expressed regarding entry into human food chain which turn relates how plants take up metabolism estrogens.In this review we explore environmental fate highlighting release through effluent sources, uptake, partitioning physiological effects ecological system. We draw potential risk intensive modern agriculture waste disposal systems on estrogen health. also highlight uptake plants.We use MEDLINE other search data bases for environment from 2005 present, with majority our sources spanning past five years. Published acceptable daily intake (μg/L) predicted no effect are listed published used as thresholds discuss reported levels aquatic terrestrial environments. Global river Waste Water Treatment Facilities mapped, together transport pathways plants.Estrogens at polluting detected sites close treatment facilities groundwater various globally. Estrogens pollutant linked breast cancer women prostate men. perturb fish physiology can affect reproductive development both domestic wild animals. hormones or precursors root shoot development, flowering germination. However, ameliorate stresses plant.There is evidence establish a causal relationship between cancer. there gaps knowledge about call required world wide effort provide more many samples sites. Of available, synthetic estrogen, ethinyl estradiol, persistent than natural may be greater cause Finally, believe that urgent requirement inter-disciplinary studies order better understand impact.

Endocrine Disruptors in Water and Their Effects on the Reproductive System

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 21(6), P. 1929 - 1929

Published: March 12, 2020

Anthropogenic contaminants in water can impose risks to reproductive health. Most of these compounds are known be endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). EDCs impact the system and subsequently impair development fertility non-human animals humans. The source chemical contamination is diverse, originating from byproducts formed during disinfection processes, release industry livestock activity, or therapeutic drugs released into sewage. This review discusses occurrence such as byproducts, fluorinated compounds, bisphenol A, phthalates, pesticides, estrogens, it outlines their adverse effects
