據報道，內分泌干擾物質會干擾人體激素系統(tǒng)，影響發(fā)育，易讓身體患多種疾??；美國紐約大學朗格尼醫(yī)學中心（Langone Medical Center）的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，從塑料與金屬食品容器，到清潔劑、玩具、化妝品中都含有這種有害物。
內分泌干擾物質最常傷害神經系統(tǒng)，會導致注意力不足過動癥（ADHD）與自閉癥、智力喪失等，也會提高糖尿病、過胖、男性不孕、子宮內膜異位癥與部分癌癥風險。
本次研究還揭示了內分泌干擾物質對經濟的影響。報告稱，這些物質導致的健康疾病每年讓美國損失3400億美元。
部分原文報道如下：
Plastic bottles contain hormone-disrupting chemicals that can cause cancer, diabetes, ADHD and autism, scientists claimed in a report on Tuesday.
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals （EDCs） interfere with the body's hormonal system, affecting development and leaving the body open to a staggering range of diseases.
But they are found in thousands of everyday products, ranging from plastic and metal food containers, to detergents, flame retardants, toys and cosmetics.
