In our clothes, our cosmetics, our detergents… and even on our plates. Endocrine disruptors are everywhere and how they affect humans is still poorly understood. But what is an endocrine disruptor?

Soybeans, cosmetics, toothpastes, shower gels, essential oil … Endocrine disruptors are widely present in our daily life while they promote certain cancers, decrease fertility and negatively influence the development of babies. What are they ? Where to find them? How to protect yourself ?

Organized by the Committee on Regional Planning and Sustainable Development, a round table on endocrine disruptors took place in the Senate on Wednesday. Bringing together the players concerned, these exchanges underlined the urgency of new, more specific regulations.

Suspicious traces were found in nearly three quarters of air quality surveys carried out in 2017 in six regions.

races of pesticides suspected of being endocrine disruptors or carcinogens were found in nearly three quarters of air quality surveys carried out in 2017 in six regions.

MEPs added endocrine disruptors to the list of environmental information that will need to be provided to consumers. This information should take a dematerialized form.

The two ads collide. The government is launching its second national strategy on endocrine disruptors (SNPE 2), at a time when Public Health France (SPF) publishes the results of the Esteban study on the pollutant impregnation of the French population. 

The executive thus intends to show its voluntarism while the results of this study, described as “a real turning point in public policies ” by Agnès Buzyn, are proving alarming.
