  • Title: [Recent advances in environmental toxicology].
    Author: Conso F.
    Journal: Rev Prat; 2000 Feb 15; 50(4):385-90. PubMed ID: 10748669.
    Abstract:
    Among the sanitary effects of environmental chemicals, 3 examples illustrate the complexity of the issues to be solved: 1. endocrine disrupters, xenobiotics which interfere with hormonal systems, could increase the risk of reproductive and developmental disturbances and explain the rising incidence of hormone-dependent cancers; 2. multiple chemical sensitivity due to odorous chemicals has severe social consequences and warrants further research; 3. the reappearance of well-known poisoning cases and the emergent new toxic diseases due to substitutive products for solvents, cooling agents and spray propellants banned for ecological purpose, demonstrate the need for surveillance programmes of industrial and household products.
