"The prevention of occupational and environmental risks associated with the exposure to endocrine disruptors (EDC) represents a true challenge for experts worldwide. Traditional risk assessment methods included in current legislation prove inadequate to protect human health and the environment from EDCs, given the specific characteristics of these compounds. Protection from the effects of EDCs represents a new challenge that calls for a new paradigm based on the application of the precautionary principle and the adoption of urgent measures."
