Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program

The Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP) is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency initiative designed to identify chemicals that may interfere with the body's hormonal system. These endocrine disruptors can affect various biological processes, potentially leading to health issues like reproductive problems, developmental disorders, and increased cancer risk. The program employs scientific tests and assessments to evaluate the effects of substances on hormones, helping to ensure that chemicals in products are safe for human health and the environment. Ultimately, the EDSP aims to protect public health by regulating harmful chemicals more effectively.
