Environmental exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has emerged as a growing concern in andrology. Substances such as pesticides, heavy metals, phthalates, and bisphenol compounds may interfere with hormonal signaling.
EDCs can mimic or block natural hormones, impair spermatogenesis, and alter reproductive development. Occupational exposure represents a significant risk factor in certain populations.
Preventive strategies include minimizing exposure, using protective equipment, and advocating for public health regulations limiting harmful substances.
Research into environmental impacts underscores the need for broader awareness and preventive policy erotic measures.
