Evidence linking hormone-mimicking chemicals to human health problems has grown stronger over the past decade, becoming a "global threat" that should be addressed.

Chemical exposures play a role in the deterioration of wildlife health, while understanding EDCs in global decline of populations or biodiversity is challenging.The best evidence that EDCs affect wildlife populations comes from long‐term monitoring.

Exact causes and effects are extremely difficult to pinpoint due to wide gaps in knowledge. Bans and restrictions on the use of EDCs have been associated with the recovery of wildlife populations and a reduction in health problems.
