According to a recent report in The New York Times, evidence of the harmful effects of chemicals are everywhere around us, although we seldom notice. Scientists are particularly concerned with the family of chemicals that mimic hormones in their effects.
For example, one common herbicide has such strong effects on wildlife that male and female animals may develop secondary characteristics of the opposite sex. These effects are not limited to the flora and fauna of the wild, but may also affect humans.
Philip Landrigan of Mount Sinai School of Medicine notes that the incidents of hypospadias, a congenital defect of newborn male babies that causes displacement of the urethra, is occurring at more than twice the rate of previous years.
