Environmental Toxin Exposure

Meaning

Environmental Toxin Exposure refers to the cumulative, involuntary contact with exogenous chemical substances, such as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), present in the surrounding environment, including air, food, and consumer products. Within the domain of hormonal health, the primary clinical concern is the capacity of these substances to interfere with the synthesis, metabolism, or action of endogenous hormones. Minimizing this exposure is a fundamental preventative strategy for preserving long-term endocrine and reproductive health.
