TL;DR: The aims of the work summarized in this paper were to validate the E-SCREEN assay, to screen a variety of chemicals present in the environment to identify those that may be causing reproductive effects in wildlife and humans, and to assess whether environmental estrogens may act cumulatively.

TL;DR: This review has covered the above-mentioned controversies plus six additional issues that have divided scientists in the field of BPA research, namely: mechanisms of bisphenol-A action; levels of human exposure; 3) routes of human Exposure; 4) pharmacokinetic models of Bpa metabolism; 5) effects of B PA on exposed animals; and 6) links between BPA and cancer.

TL;DR: The estrogenic properties of alkylphenols, specifically nonylphenol, indicate that the use of plasticware containing these chemicals in experimental and diagnostic tests may lead to spurious results, and these compounds as well as alkyLphenol polyethoxylates may also be potentially harmful to exposed humans and the environment at large.

TL;DR: The use of bis-GMA-based resins in dentistry, and particularly the use of sealants in children, appears to contribute to human exposure to xenoestrogens.

TL;DR: It has been hypothesized that endocrine disruptors may play a role in the decrease in the quantity and quality of human semen during the last 50 y, as well as in the increased incidence of testicular cancer and cryptorchidism in males and breast cancer incidence in both females and males in the industrialized word.
