The Girl Disrupted Report
In January 2008, leading researchers gathered at Commonweal in Bolinas, California to determine what's known, what's suspected, and what should be the focus of additional research regarding environmental contaminants linked to conditions including early puberty, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, breast cancer and others.
The researchers determined that manmade, hormone-like chemicals in the environment harm women's reproductive systems - particularly when exposure occurs during prenatal and early life development - but more research is needed to fully understand how.The meeting, known as the 2008 Women's Reproductive Health and the Environment Workshop, resulted in three publications on hormone disruptors and female reproductive health, including the recently released lay report, Girl, Disrupted: Hormone Disruptors and Women's Reproductive Health. Girl, Disrupted translates the science from the workshop into understandable language, and summarizes critical research gaps highlighted by the workshop participants.
