Several recent expert reviews and workshops have discussed the effects of endocrine disruption on wildlife and especially invertebrate species. These include the EU workshop on the impact of endocrine disrupters on human health and wildlife (Weybridge, 1996), the lEH workshop (Leicester, May 1997), the Environment Agency Consultative report (January 1998) and the Tyndall Forum at the Royal Institution (February 1998). They have concluded that endocrine disruption may have far-reaching adverse consequences for biodiversity and the sustainability of natural ecosystems. More comprehensive bioassay systems are required to identify and assess chemicals alleged to produce endocrine modulating effects. [Pg.57]
