Recent research has found that low doses of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) have a profound impact on disease development in humans. In this study "low doses" of EDCs are comparable to the average person's environmental exposure to these chemicals, which the EPA has not fully taken into account when setting its standards. The problem stems from current testing methods that are failing to measure these low yet harmful levels of EDCs. Scientists say that safety testing for EDCs must undergo fundamental changes in order for human health to be protected.
