ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICALS AS REPRODUCTIVE TOXICANTS

Environmental chemicals have the ability to alter natural hormone functions. They interfere with hypothalamic and pituitary release of hormones. These endocrine disruptors are dangerous that they affect the normal metabolism and reproductive health which leads to fertility issues. In humans and farm animals, these substances develop a reproductive toxicity. So, research is required to identify these compounds, and understanding its impacts caused in the environment. This article overviews the cause, impact and possible solution for the ill-effect of the environmental chemicals.
