Title: Special Publication on Natural and Anthropogenic Environmental
Oestrogens
Coordinator(s): A.
N. Wright
Remark: Joint with the International Unions of Pharmacology
and of Toxicology.
Completion Date: 2001 - project completed
Objective:
A peer-reviewed publication authored by international experts to put
into scientific perspective the industrially-important controversy over
"endocrine disrupters". COCI contributed ~$42K for the honaria to authors
and reviewers that permitted rapid publication in this fast-moving area.
A.N. Wright, COCI Chairman and A.E. Fischli, IUPAC Past President acted
as the Special Issue Editors.
Progress:
The Special Issue of Pure Appl. Chem., "Natural
and Anthropogenic Environmental Oestrogens - The scientific basis for
risk assessment", was published in Sept. 1998, Vol. 70, No.
9, appearing in early 1999. The "Conclusions
and recommendations", over the names of the Presidents of the three
prestigious scientific Unions, have provided scientificaly-unbiased,
easily understood, information for governmental and othe decision-makers
around the world to help counter the claims of the more extreme environmentalists.
Distribution worldwide in late 1999 has been facilitated by cooperative
efforts with UNESCO and UNIDO.
