EEDs may cause a variety of endocrine and reproductive system defects including malformations of newborns, undecended testicles, abnormal sperm, low sperm counts, feminization of males and masculinization of females, thyroid dysfunction, etc. In addition they are also suspected of contributing to increased evidence of cervical, breast, and prostate cancer. A major concern is that EEDs may exhibit their primary effects on the developing fetus; in these instances the time of exposure is more critical than the concentration level, but in all cases the environmental levels of concern are extremely low (e.g., parts per trillion and below). In addition, Dr. Keith has prepared a summary from a

    Extractions: Hog farming is a significant agricultural activity in Canada, with the size of operations expected to increase substantially in the near future. This will not only mean more pork, but also more hog-generated organic waste, which is traditionally disposed of as manure for field crops. Source: Statistics Canada, Historical Overview of Canadian Agriculture, 1997 The concern, according to Environment Canada scientists, is that pig manure can contain high concentrations of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, including natural estrogens. These chemicals have been proven through various studies to have long-term adverse effects on the growth, development and reproduction of fish and wildlife. Runoff from fields treated with pig manure can enter adjacent streams or other bodies of water, resulting in eutrophication or even acute toxicity. Scientists from Environment Canada's National Water Research Institute (NWRI) and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Ontario joined forces earlier this year to determine the persistence of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in soil after manure application and to establish the identity, exposure and effects of chemicals entering adjacent aquatic environments. Studies completed this spring confirmed the presence of high concentrations of these chemicals in hog manure, and showed that they begin to enter nearby waterways soon after manure has been applied to fields. Studies are currently under way to isolate and identify several unknown compounds that were detected to determine if they also pose a threat to aquatic environments.

CONTACT US The Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing is an academic center affiliated with the Division of Toxicological Sciences in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences of the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health INTRODUCTION Baltimore, Maryland Proceedings In February, the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) organized a two-day workshop to set the agenda for a later public meeting on environmental chemicals that act as endocrine disruptors. Representatives of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the chemical industry, the animal protection community, and academia were invited to participate. CAAT organized the meeting in response to a federal program to test chemicals for their potential to disrupt endocrine systems in both human beings and wildlife. That program requires a battery of tests to determine whether chemicals might mimic-or block-the effects of estrogen, androgen, and thyroid hormones in animals and people, with harmful consequences. The current testing plan, known as the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP), was developed in response to mandates included within the Food Quality Protection Act and amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act. Those laws require EPA to screen pesticides and other chemicals for their potential to disrupt endocrine systems in both human beings and wildlife. Based on recommendations from a scientific panel known as the Endocrine Disruptor Screening and Testing Advisory Committee (EDSTAC), the EPA has proposed a battery of in vivo and in vitro tests. These tests, currently undergoing validation, have the potential to use an enormous number of animals to determine which chemicals are hormonally active.

CONTACT US The Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing is an academic center affiliated with the Division of Toxicological Sciences in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences of the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health In 1999, CAAT introduced TestSmart, a new approach to risk assessment. TestSmart is intended to provide a new model for toxicology, one that is both more humane and more predictive. We seek to work with both the U.S. regulatory community and industry to identify newer, better testing methods than those commonly used or accepted today. Our short-term goal is to reduce the number of animals required for testing. Our long-term goal is to provide a process that will protect both people and the environment better than current methods can. CAAT began by offering TestSmart-HPV chemicals and has offered workshops on TestSmart-Pharmaceuticals and TestSmart-Endocrine Disruptors. TestSmart-Acute Toxicity is under development. TestSmart-HPV In 1998, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Environmental Defense Fund, and the Chemical Manufacturers Association agreed to conduct hazard evaluation studies on 2,800 top-selling or “high production volume” (HPV) chemicals to determine their effects on people and the environment. Because these studies would require large numbers of animal tests, CAAT asked the parties involved to step back and consider whether the same information could be collected with fewer animals, and whether new approaches could be used for gathering this data. A “TestSmart-HPV” workshop was organized in April 1999; participants represented government, industry, academia, and the animal protection community. Following the workshop, the EPA announced it had decreased its estimates for animal use by 80%.

Resources COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT on the implementation of the Community Strategy for Endocrine Disrupters - a range of substances suspected of interfering with the hormone systems of humans and wildlife COM (2001)262 Following the adoption by the Commission of a Communication to Council and European Parliament on a Community Strategy for Endocrine Disrupters in December 1999 ( COM(1999)706 ), the Council invited the Commission to report regularly on the progress of work, and for the first time in early 2001. A key short-term action of the Community Strategy is the establishment of a priority list of substances for further evaluation of their role in endocrine disruption. During 2000, a candidate list of 553 man-made substances and 9 synthetic/natural hormones has been identified. The candidate list has been divided into three separate groupings of substances depending on the level of information available, and a priority list of actions has been developed in order to further evaluate the role of these substances in endocrine disruption. Actions, timeframes and groupings of substances are presented in Annex 1 of this Communication. Regarding other short-term actions, the Commission held

OSH Answers Feedback Printer Friendly Layout Inquiries Service What is the endocrine system? The endocrine system is comprised of a number of glands in the body that do not have ducts and other similar structures. Glands in the endocrine system include the ovaries; the testes; the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands; the pineal body; the pancreas; as well as cells of the gastrointestinal tract, and the placenta. What distinguishes endocrine glands from other glands is that endocrine glands secrete certain chemical called hormones and other glands produce other chemicals or fluids; for example, lacrimal glands secrete tears, salivary glands produce saliva, and sweat glands produce sweat. Hormones (so-called "chemical messengers") produced by endocrine glands enter the capillaries (and lymph vessels) of the blood circulatory system. They travel through the bloodstream to specific "receptors" in target organs or systems where they can trigger their biological effects.

    Extractions: Assessing the Risk and Extent of Endocrine Disruptors The human body is immensely complex, and our knowledge and awareness of its complexity continues to grow. One of the most disquieting discoveries in recent years concerns the possible roles of environmental chemicals on endocrine systems. Endocrine systems are present not only in humans but in "higher" animals such as birds, fish, and mammals. Endocrine systems coordinate and regulate many important body functions such as growth and maturation, behaviour, reproduction and embryo development. They do this by making and releasing hormones which act as "chemical messengers." Certain tissues in the body have very specific receptors for the hormones. By interacting with these receptors, the hormones trigger responses. Among the hormones ("chemical messengers") operating within the endocrine system are estrogen (a female sex hormone produced by the ovaries); thyroid hormone (influencing the function of virtually every cell in the body); and ACTH (produced by the pituitary gland to influence the release of adrenalin from the adrenal gland). Endocrine systems can be affected by certain substances outside of the body, both naturally-occurring and artificial. By interfering with the normal communication between the messenger and the cell receptors, the chemical message is misinterpreted, generating abnormal response(s) in the body.

    Extractions: Hormones are chemical messengers that are produced by endocrine glands in the body such as the pituitary, the thyroid, the adrenal glands, the ovaries, and the testes. They circulate throughout the body and control metabolism, growth, development, and some aspects of human behavior. Evidence is increasing that some synthetic chemicals in the environment can interfere with hormone function. They can do this by blocking the effects of a natural hormone, by mimicking a natural hormone, or by directly interfering with the endocrine glands. Chemicals that have this capability are called endocrine disruptors. These substances have been shown to be able to alter the function of estrogen, androgen, thyroid hormone, and even the hormones of the pituitary gland.
