Overview of air pollution and endocrine disorders

Abstract: Over recent years, many environmental pollutant chemicals have been shown to possess the ability to interfere in the functioning of the endocrine system and have been termed endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). These compounds exist in air as volatile or semi-volatile compounds in the gas phase or attached to particulate matter. They include components of plastics (phthalates, bisphenol A), components of consumer goods (parabens, triclosan, alkylphenols, fragrance compounds, organobromine flame retardants, f… Show more

“…In addition to excess mortality, air pollution is associated with significant reductions in healthy life years and worker productivity ( 2 , 4 ). Air pollution may also be an important endocrine disrupter, contributing to the development of metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes mellitus ( 5 ). While the developing world is most burdened by air pollution-associated health effects, the association between air pollution and mortality is still evident in developed countries where pollution levels are well below target standards ( 6 , 7 ).…”

“…Endocrine disruption and metabolic disorder: Several components of the BMS (e.g., PAHs, VOCs etc.) are known/potential endocrine-disruptive chemicals [54]. Long-term exposure to these chemicals may result in the disruption of the normal functioning of the endocrine system which may in turn result in metabolic disorders.…”

“…The presence of a large number of man-made sources of danger, caused by the functioning of industrial production, containing many permanent sources of air pollution, poses a real threat to humans and the environment [7]. The quantitative environmental risk estimates obtained for a number of large industrial industries are quite high even for normal operation modes [8].…”
