Hormonstörande kemikalier

Vi är omgivna av kemikalier som kan påverka vårt hormonsystem. Vilka risker innebär det för vår hälsa, vår reproduktion och vår framtid?

Varningsropen duggar tätt. Luften vi andas, vattnet vi dricker, maten vi äter och produkter vi använder i vår vardag innehåller ämnen som kan orsaka allvarliga störningar av kroppens kemiska signalsystem. Men vad vet vi egentligen om riskerna? Hur fungerar hormonsystemet? Vad händer om det störs? Och går det att skydda sig mot något som finns överallt?
