内分泌干扰物（EDCs）是改变内分泌系统功能的物质，因此对人类或野生动物造成不利影响。释放特定的内分泌干扰物到环境中已被证明会对某些野生动物种群产生负面影响，并导致限制使用某些内分泌干扰物。目前的化学品法规旨在平衡使用这些物质的工业、农业和/或制药效益与其对人类健康或环境的已证实或潜在危害。摘要介绍了自然科学证据基础，为管制释放到环境中可能对野生动物产生内分泌干扰作用的化学品提供了信息。本摘要采用的格式（"重述"）旨在保持政策中立，供知情但非专家的决策者和利益攸关方查阅。
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are substances that alter the function of the endocrine system and consequently cause adverse effects to humans or wildlife. The release of particular EDCs into the environment has been shown to negatively affect certain wildlife populations and has led to restrictions on the use of some EDCs. Current chemical regulations aim to balance the industrial, agricultural and/or pharmaceutical benefits of using these substances with their demonstrated or potential harm to human health or the environment. A summary is provided of the natural science evidence base informing the regulation of chemicals released into the environment that may have endocrine disrupting effects on wildlife. This summary is in a format (a 'restatement') intended to be policy-neutral and accessible to informed, but not expert, policy-makers and stakeholders.
