Abstract
In het kader van het project 'endocriene verstoring
humaan' worden onder meer actuele ontwikkelingen gerapporteerd over de
relatie tussen endocriene verstoring en humane effecten. Dit rapport geeft
een overzicht van de presentaties die over dit onderwerp gegeven werden
tijdens een workshop, gehouden in mei 2000 in Kopenhagen, die werd
georganiserd door prof. Niels Skakkebaek. De workshop bracht een niet
onaanzienlijke groep expert wetenschappers op dit terrein bijeen. Zowel
actuele overzichtsverhalen als nieuwe resultaten van lopende
researchprojecten werden gepresenteerd. De workshop concludeerde dat
endocriene verstoring een onderwerp van zorg blijft, hoewel causale relaties
tussen blootstelling aan endocriene stoffen via het milieu en
gezondheidseffecten bij de mens tot op heden niet zijn aangetoond. Er zijn
met name meer humane blootstellingsgegevens nodig als basis voor een actuele
risicoschatting voor de mens met betrekking tot endocriene
verstoring.
Within the project on endocrine disruption and human health one aim is to keep track with the state of the art as regards endocrine disrupter research relating to human health effects. This report summarizes the presentations given at the Workshop on the subject held in May 2000 in Copenhagen, which was organised by professor Niels Skakkebaek. The workshop brought together a considerable group of key scientists in the field. Both timely overviews as well as current research results were presented. The workshop concluded that endocrine disruption remains a matter of concern, although causal relationships between exposure to environmental endocrine disrupters and human health effects have not been proven to date. Particularly, human exposure data are needed to found a solid basis for actual human risk assessment in the field of endocrine disruption.
