dc.descriptionThis report is a comprehensive synthesis of international efforts to identify and classify endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). It presents an in-depth compilation of chemical lists gathered from governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and industry bodies worldwide. The analysis meticulously evaluates the varying selection criteria and methodologies employed across more than 1,000 chemicals, referencing robust scientific evidence and regulatory procedures. By comparing 24 distinct lists and databases, the report reveals discrepancies in definitions, assessment protocols, and data transparency, highlighting the need for ongoing refinement in the classification and regulation of EDCs. It also identifies a core set of chemicals—supported by strong consensus and scientific rigor—for further evaluation in future research and policy initiatives.en
