We appreciate your interest in the subject of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). More action is needed in the European Union (EU) mandate to ensure effective protection from harmful EDCs. Persistent regulatory gaps such as missing information requirements and very lengthy restriction processes under the EUs chemicals law, REACH, currently prevent the identification and control of many EDCs.
To help share the latest science-based information on EDCs during the height of the pandemic, we prepared the following newsletters for policymakers in the EU. We urged policymakers to prioritize specific actions on EDCs, including a coherent identification process linked to control measures to reduce widespread exposures, and have seen a number of successes since then, including our inclusion in the UN’s International Negotiating Committee for the Plastics Treaty. If you have any questions or requests for content, please reach out Joe Laakso, PhD, Director of Science Policy at [email protected].
