The Endocrine Society and IPEN offer this authoritative report --- Plastics, EDCs, & Health --- which presents a summary of years of research and hundreds of peer reviewed studies about the alarming health effects of EDCs in plastics.

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are often present in the building blocks of plastics or in additives that manufacturers uses to produce them. Around 275 million metric tons of plastics are used each year around the world, most of which end up in landfills, are incinerated, or leak into the oceans. EDCs from plastics block, mimic, or otherwise interfere with the body's hormones. They pose risks to human health at key points during the life cycle including pregnancy, puberty, and childhood, and can impact multiple generations. EDCs are likewise linked to reproductive disorders, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and neurological impairments.

Although there are some efforts underway to reduce plastic use or increase their recyclability, or to develop more environmentally-friendly forms of plastics, these efforts haven't addressed the issue of plastics containing EDCs.
