| Conscious of the potential threats
from endocrine disruptors to humans and the environment the European
Commission adopted a strategy in December 1999 aiming at addressing
this pressing issue. The subject matter is complex and with this website
we seek to provide you with the basic principles on endocrine disruptors
and introduce the central issues at hand. A number of reports as well
as the Commission's strategy are also presented in detail.

-
The priority list of substances for further evaluation of their
role in endocrine disruption is now available as an Access-Database.
The database comprises not only substances categorised in terms
of priority but also the scientific information underlying the prioritisation.
It can be extracted from this webpage.
-
A study to complement the "priority list" with a focus
on Low Production Volume Chemicals (LPVC) was completed end of December
2006.

is being done?/Priority list
