EDCs are repeatedly linked to sever illnesses such as infertility, early onset of puberty, behavioral disorders, and even breast, testicular, and prostate-cancer. EDCs interfere with the sensitive hormone system of the human body, which is why already low doses can have severe effects. Especially pregnant women and young children are vulnerable to EDCs. WECF offers publications and free information material on this issue, and also raises awareness through the Nesting Project.
You can also find more information on the Danish Consumer Council’s general campaign against EDCs here.
