[Louisette Lanteigne]

Hi folks
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and WHO presented a document entitled State of the Science of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals - 2012.

This document provides the global status of scientific knowledge on exposure to and effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs).
PBDE, PaH's, teflon coatings, BPA etc. this report covers it all. 
Page 202 shows a great illustration on how endocrine disrupter travels through sewage systems and water tables and there's lots of specific data on what chemicals create which illnesses including breast and prostate cancers, various fertility issues, in utero impacts of chemicals and impacts on wildlife etc. This report is excellent and can be viewed online here:
