Effects of the environmental estrogenic contaminants bisphenol A and 17α-ethinyl estradiol on sexual development and adult behaviors in aquatic wildlife species

Highlights • Bisphenol A (BPA) and ethinyl estradiol (EE2) are detectable in various aquatic sources. • BPA and EE2 can disrupt sexual differentiation in various aquatic species. • BPA and EE2 can alter adult behaviors in various aquatic species. • Exposure to estrogenic EDCs may lead to epigenetic...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Bisphenol A (BPA) and ethinyl estradiol (EE2) are detectable in various aquatic sources. • BPA and EE2 can disrupt sexual differentiation in various aquatic species. • BPA and EE2 can alter adult behaviors in various aquatic species. • Exposure to estrogenic EDCs may lead to epigenetic and transgenerational effects. • “ One health, one medicine ” concept applies to EDC exposure in animals and humans.
