Endocrine disruptors, usually found in pesticides, metals, additives and contaminants in food, are chemicals that can interfere with our endocrine and hormonal systems and which can cause cancerous tumours, birth defects and other disorders (see the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/ceh\/risks\/cehemerging2\/en\/\">World Health Organisation\u2019s info page<\/a>). A recent high number of petitions on the subject led to the Parliament\u2019s decision to hold the hearing and discuss the EU\u2019s regulatory actions, as well as what scientists are currently saying on the subject. In October 2017, the Parliament had blocked plans proposed by the European Commission to exempt some pesticides from being identified as endocrine disruptors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 22 March, a public hearing organised by the European Parliament\u2019s Environment Committee and the Petitions Committee looked at the &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[9,75,5],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.6 -
