The American Chemical Society (ACS) reports scientists should be free to interpret scientific information for the public on all matters, especially those of great urgency, and to suggest appropriate courses of action, including the issue of endocrine disruption. The ACS reports the U.S. simply cannot wait seven decades to deal with the endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) as with lead in household paint. With EDCs such as phthalates and bisphenol A that contaminate people worldwide, we are reportedly only one to two and occasionally three or four generations into widespread exposures.
