What is another word for endocrine disruptor?
Pronunciation: [ˈɛndə͡ʊkɹˌa͡ɪn dɪsɹˈʌptə] (IPA) 
Endocrine disruptors are synthetic chemicals that interfere with the hormonal system and cause adverse health effects. There are several synonyms for endocrine disruptor, such as hormone disruptor, endocrine active compound, endocrine-active substance, and endocrinologically active substance. These compounds mimic or block the natural hormones in the body, which can lead to infertility, developmental disorders, and even cancer. Other synonyms include chemical contaminant, xenohormone, and endocrine modulator. The potential harmful effects of these compounds have led to strict regulations, such as the European Union's REACH regulations, designed to protect the public and the environment from exposure to endocrine disruptors.
