Evidence is piling up in the lab and in the field, showing that small levels of chemicals during foetal development cause serious reproductive and health problems in humans and wildlife. There will always be a need for more research. There is no simple answer. The sooner the better. We must monitor the fertility rate of the human population worldwide.
Investigations can take time.
In the US, and appropriate federal agency should develop a database on all endocrine disruptors, exposure, effects, and the like, to track scientists' findings and to help further research. Finally, we need to promote pollution prevention. The WWF International Programme on Toxic Chemicals aims to reduce the use, production, transport, and emission of toxic substances. Here are some examples of WWF's toxics reduction work. At the OECD, WWF is lobbying for comprehensive toxic chemicals inventories to track the use, transport, emission, and disposal of toxic substances.
