Abstract

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals(EDCs)are widely found in people′s daily supplies or environments. The individuals in the world contact with these substances through different pathways. Adolescent-developed individuals are more sensitive to these substances. The integration of many environmental factors through epigenetic modification affects the starting age of puberty. Although there are various related studies, it is impossible for humans to contact only a single substance, and there is still much doubt about the additive effect of EDCs mixtures with similar mechanisms of action. Therefore, analytical scientists, molecular biologists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, endocrinologists, gynecologists, obstetricians, and oncologists are required to conduct multidisciplinary research to address and to discuss all the scientific results. It may have far-reaching implications for formulating the prevention strategies and individualized health plans. Key words: Endocrine disrupting chemicals; Puberty development; Precocious puberty
