Endocrine Disrupters in Wastewater and Sludge Treatment Processes


Free Download Endocrine Disrupters in Wastewater and Sludge Treatment Processes By J. W. Birkett, J. N. Lester
2003 | 312 Pages | ISBN: 1843390310 | PDF | 4 MB
Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) have been shown to produce changes in the endocrine system of organisms that lead to increases in cancers and abnormalities in reproductive structure and function. Recent research has highlighted the existence of hormonally active compounds in sewage and industrial effluents and their potential for recycling back into the environment – including drinking water supplies- through point sources and non-point sources. Endocrine Disrupters in Wastewater and Sludge Treatment Processes presents the latest research on EDCs, covering the sources, fate, and transport of EDCs in sewage and industrial effluents, and sludge treatment and disposal options in light of effects on receiving environments. In addition, the authors review current legislation, future research needs, and potential management strategies for endocrine disrupters in the environment.

Endocrine Disruptors Part II


Free Download M. Metzler, "Endocrine Disruptors: Part II"
English | 2002 | pages: 288 | ISBN: 3540422803, 3642076025 | PDF | 2,6 mb
The field of endocrine disruption or endocrine active compounds (EACs), which is just emerging and still controversial, is comprehensively covered by leading experts in Volume 3, Subvolumes L (Part I) and M (the present volume, Part II). The major classes of endocrine active chemicals are discussed, as well as methods for their detection and their association with health disturbances in humans and wildlife. The etiology of several of the human diseases associated with endocrine disruptors, e.g. breast and prostate cancer, decreased fertility and malformations, is still poorly understood, and the current state of knowledge is presented. Since hormonally active agents appear to have the potential of both adverse and beneficial effects, the evidence of health benefits associated with endocrine active compounds in humans is also presented. Basic chapters on the mode of action of EACs and on the etiology of the associated diseases facilitate the understanding of this complex subject for non-medical readers.

Much like the nervous system, the endocrine system relays important communication signals throughout the body. The endocrine system uses chemical signals, known as hormones, which are produced and stored in special glands in the body. Different glands produce specialized hormones and release them into the bloodstream. From there, these hormones can travel directly to the tissues and organs and help regulate bodily functions. In "The Endocrine System," learn how this chemical messaging system is vital to the bodys growth, metabolism, and sexual development.

The Endocrine System is the body’s bridge between nervous and glandular functions. All chemicals released in the body likely do so through an endocrine response. In order to design exercise, dietary and supplement regimens to aid the body’s performance, a basic knowledge of the roles of each element of the Endocrine System is required. Illness and other physical maladies are most evident in the body through the performance of organs and glands. Endocrine System analysis and regulation is key to provided the best environment for a healthy body.
