SUMMARY
Hormone Disrupting Chemicals, or Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals, (or Gender Benders if you read The Sun Newspaper) are in the food we eat, water we drink, air we breathe and are in the very fabric of our lifestyles from mobile phones and other electronic products to cosmetics and other personal care products, not to mention toys, soft furnishings and plastics.  They are an issue that, to a large extent, flies under the radar, but are of health concern to us now and future generations. This talk will explain how hormone disrupting chemicals work and the steps that should be taken at a policy, legislative. wildlife and  personal level to control their impact.
