EDC Risk Management Home Page http://www.epa.gov/ORD/NRMRL/EDC/

Hot Topics: EPA's risk management research on EDCs shows combustion products can be androgenic. NRMRL researchers, Clyde Owens and Brian Gullett, have discovered androgenicity in the products of combustion. (See news coverage in Environmental Science and Technology).
