Chapter 2: Summary and action plan
Prior research results have found so far no certain case of
endocrine disruption in humans, except the pharmacological
action of synthetic hormone preparations. This does not mean
that chemical exposure never causes endocrine disruption in
humans, but it is now fairly sure that critical ages are the
fetal and adolescent phases. In addition, data on mechanisms of
manifestation of adverse effects have been accumulated.
Based on these findings, the action plan presented in the
Interim Report was revised as a guide for future studies.
