hormone disruptor
chemical that can interfere with endocrine or hormone systems at certain doses and cause cancerous tumors, birth defects or other developmental disorders
So far, it has been demonstrated in animal studies that endocrine disruptors have clear adverse effects. There are, however, only few human studies, for example on the connection between congenital cryptorchidism (absence of one or both testes from the scrotum at birth) and levels of certain organochlorine pesticides in breast milk (Damgaard et al., 2006).
