WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
has listed 134 chemicals to be screened for their potential to disrupt
the human endocrine system, officials said.

Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interact with, and can possibly
disrupt, the hormones produced or secreted by human or animal endocrine
systems, which regulate growth, metabolism and reproduction, an agency
release said Tuesday.

"Endocrine disruptors represent a serious health concern for the
American people, especially children," EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson
said.

"Americans today are exposed to more chemicals in our products, our
environment and our bodies than ever before, and it is essential that
EPA takes every step to gather information and prevent risks," she said.

The list includes chemicals that have been identified as priorities
under the Safe Drinking Water Act and may be found in sources of
drinking water where a substantial number of people may be exposed.

The chemicals listed include those used in products such as solvents,
gasoline, plastics, personal care products, pesticides, and
pharmaceuticals, including benzene, perchlorate, urethane, ethylene
glycol, and erythromycin.

"We are using the best available science to examine a larger list of
chemicals and ensure that they are not contaminating the water we drink
and exposing adults and children to potential harm," Jackson said.
