"The increased incidence of hormone-related disorders and illnesses in humans needs to be taken very seriously indeed. The endocrine system regulates much of what happens in the body, including reproduction, metabolism, growth, salt and water balance and cardiac function. There is a disturbing trend particularly with regard to human reproductive capacity, where endocrine disruptors are thought to be a contributory factor. The precautionary principle is, and must remain, a major plank of the EU’s chemicals policy. The fact that we do not know everything cannot be used as a pretext for inactivity. The risks of irreversible damage to humans and the environment are simply too great. At present there are some 27 000 research reports dealing with endocrine disruptors and their effects on humans and animals. A number of disturbing trends may be observed."@en1
