Environmental hormones, which are called endocrine disruptors or hormone mimics in scientific terminology, is a generic term for chemical substances that enter the body and mimic hormones, thus disrupting the functions of hormones naturally secreted by the body. They are difficult to decompose and have a high degree of residuality. About 70 substances are thought to be hormone disruptors, including dioxin, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), and bisphenol A, a plastic material widely used in daily life. 2, record 6, English, - hormone%20disrupting%20chemical
