--> Focusing more on human health consequences , the purpose of this project is to explore the effects of industrialization upon society through the release of EDCs.

-->Criticizing the reckless abandon of unregulated agricultural and industrial operations has become quite popular, but how many people would forsake all the modernity that has resulted?

Studies and research

* Adapting EDC Bioassays to Monitor Performance of Risk Management Processes
This is a study designed to create a framework for the utilization of environmental monitoring in risk assesment. Essentially the goal is to isolate levels of risk from simply comparative toxicology.

*Analysis of Swine Lagoons & Ground Water for Environmental Estrogens
Just as it sounds this study investigates the potential for groundwater contamination from swine concentrated animal feeding operations.

* Emission of Endocrine Disruptors from Biomass & Diesel Fuel Composition
Here emissions are tested for androgenic or estrogenic activity.

* Evaluation of Drinking Water Treatment Technologies for Removal of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds
Just as it sound this study was carried out to test the effectivness of water treatment technologies.

* Fate of EDCs in Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants
Why do wastewater treatment plants often appear to be sources of EDCs to the environment?

*Land Application of Biosolids Containing EDCs
This is an investigation of the application of sewage sludge to agricultural lands for fertilization.
