Ground-breaking scientific review calls for better methods for determining safety standards

Ground-breaking scientific review calls for better methods for determining safety standards by The Endocrine Disruption Exchange, March 26, 2012
A paradigm shift in how chemicals are assessed for safety is underway, led by the need to address chemicals that affect the endocrine system at very low exposure levels. A ground-breaking scientific review by Laura Vandenberg and a team of world-renowned scientists was published in Endocrine Reviews recently. It provides comprehensive and detailed evidence supporting the need to completely revise how we determine safety standards to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals and protect public health.
