Male Reproductive Disorders and Fertility Trends: Influences of Environment and Genetic Susceptibility
Niels E. Skakkebæk,Ewa Rajpert-De Meyts,Germaine M. Buck Louis,Jorma Toppari,Anna-Maria Andersson,Michael L. Eisenberg,Tina Kold Jensen,Niels Jørgensen,Shanna H. Swan,Katherine J. Sapra,Søren Ziebe,Lærke Priskorn,Anders Juul +12 more
TL;DR: There is an urgent need to prioritize research in reproductive physiology and pathophysiology, particularly in highly industrialized countries facing decreasing populations, because environmental exposures arising from modern lifestyle, rather than genetics, are the most important factors in the observed trends.

TL;DR: This review will examine changes to the incidence of obesity, T2D and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the contribution of genetics to these disorders and describe the role of the endocrine system in these metabolic disorders.

TL;DR: This document was prepared by a working group of Regional Centres of the Stockholm and Basel Conventions to be a background document for discussion in the 2017 Conference of the Parties of the Basel Convention on hazardous wastes and the Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological effects of pharmaceuticals in aquatic systems--impacts through behavioural alterations.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that prey consumption can be an important exposure route as on average 46% of the pharmaceutical in ingested prey accumulated in the predator, suggesting that investigations of exposure through bioconcentration, where trophic interactions and subsequent bioaccumulation of exposed individuals are ignored, underestimate exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, personal care products, nanomaterials and perfluorinated pollutants: a review
TL;DR: In this article, a review of emerging micropollutants in the environment is presented, with emphasis on their occurrences, effects, environmental fates, and potential risk of exposure in water, soil or sediment.
