Air Quality Hormones

Meaning

The term Air Quality Hormones is a conceptual bridge used to describe the significant, measurable influence that ambient air contaminants exert on the synthesis, metabolism, and action of the human endocrine system. It highlights the direct physiological impact of inhaled substances like fine particulate matter (PM2.5), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and airborne endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that can act as stressors or hormone mimics. Recognizing this connection is essential for developing comprehensive hormonal health optimization protocols.
