In the parlance of environmental toxicology, a health effect caused by a hazardous agent is called an end point. Cancer is a relatively discrete, identifiable end point. But endocrine-disrupting end points are myriad, often subtle, and may take two or more generations to show themselves. 4, record 2, English, - end%20point

Fluoroalkenes. Even with double-bonded fluorocarbons, we still can have fairly high lethal concentrations and fairly low toxicity.
