This paper discusses the endocrine system, which regulates the development,
growth, reproduction, and behavior of an organism. Concern has grown about
synthetic chemicals interfering with or disrupting the normal operation of this
system because certain chemicals can mimic the hormones that serve as the
messengers regulating the endocrine system. A three-step approach by the water
supply community to address this issue is recommended: consolidate scientific
data about the issue; evaluate its effect on specific water quality; and,
communicate these findings to the public. Includes 18 references, figures.
