The coverage examines major animal groups for sensitivity to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), identifying endpoints and procedures for testing guidelines. Three EDC screening methods (two using fish and one using amphibians) are examined in detail for their efficacy and applicability. Edited by, and with contributions from, a leading participant in regulatory efforts, the book outlines methods that combine sensitivity, efficiency, statistical power, acceptable cost, and minimum ethical concern"--Provided by publisher.Endocrine disrupting chemicalsToxicity testingEndocrine disrupting chemicalsEnvironmental aspectsEndocrine toxicologyEndocrine disrupting chemicalsToxicity testing.Endocrine disrupting chemicalsEnvironmental aspects.Endocrine toxicology.615.3/6SCI013060bisacshMatthiessen Peter445421MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809347503321Endocrine disrupters4017344UNINA
