Novel Methods to Assess Effects of Bisphenol A & Phthalates on Child Development
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Hormones play a critical role in many processes in our bodies, particularly in the reproductive system and in brain development. Some chemicals, known as endocrine disruptors, can interfere with the body’s natural hormones by blocking or altering normal hormone function resulting in long-term mental and physical health effects.
At this center, researchers study the effects of two endocrine disruptors that are commonly used in pesticides, plastics and many other products and are also found in vehicle exhaust: bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates. These chemicals have the potential to impact the human developmental hormones because BPA mimics the female hormone estrogen, and phthalates can disrupt the production of male hormones such as testosterone and change the way the body responds to them. Scientists at this center examine the health risks of being exposed to these chemicals in the womb or during adolescence and aim to discover how these problems can be limited and prevented.
