There has been some concern that the recently observed decline in sperm quality may be related to exposure to environmental estrogens (Sharpe and Skakkebaek, 1993) and at the same time there has been speculation that these estrogenic compounds may exert inhibitory effects against prostate cancer (Kurzer, 2002). Theoretically, exposure to high levels of dietary estrogens could alter the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in men, but dietary studies to date have not shown such an hormonal effects.

As polychlorinated 1,4-dibenzodioxins (PCDDs) are highly toxic chemicals, and well-known environmental pollutants and environmental estrogens, a lot of attention has been paid to 1,4-dibenzodioxins and their halogenated derivatives. Optical spectra and photophysical properties of PCDD derivatives have been thoroughly reviewed <2000RCR1037>.
