Review of the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in birds
Abstract:
There have been several case studies of the impact of chemical contaminants on birds at the level of individuals or populations. While many of the chemicals involved in these incidents have been classified as endocrine-disrupting chemicals or endocrine active substances (EASs) the mechanisms by which these chemicals affect birds are not clearly or fully understood.
