Endocrine disrupters are chemicals that interfere with the endocrine (hormonal) system, causing reproductive and developmental abnormalities in wildlife and potentially in humans. This includes fishes, birds, reptiles, and mammals. DDT is one example of an endocrine disrupter. Endocrine disrupters are not only used in the US but can also be found in common household products and chemicals.
