JRC publishes report from expert group on endocrine disrupters

02 October 2014

The Joint Research Centre has published a further report from the Endocrine Disrupters Expert Advisory Group (ED EAG) capturing the experts' scientific reflections on the nature of biological responses to an ED and if such responses should be considered as threshold dependent, or not, with respect to dose.
A focus of the EAG was the consideration of thresholds in the context of potential adverse effects of regulatory concern in humans and the environment. The challenges and uncertainties associated with reliably estimating thresholds were also examined. Decisions regarding thresholds can ultimately influence how chemicals are regulated in certain situations (JRC IHCP website, 25 July 2014).
