In recent years there has
been a growing interest in the significance of reported declines in
human fecundity. It has been shown that the potential exists that
exposure to environmental chemicals has an influence on human
reproductive enpoints. However, it is still unkown to what extent food,
acting as a "vector" of synthetic endocrine disrupters, affects
fecundity.
So far, pharmaceutical products (PPs) have received little attention.
Subsequently, little is known of the occurrence, fate and effects of
PPs in the environment and their effects on human fecundity. This is
partly due to the scarcity of simple and efficient methods for cleaning
up and concentrating PPs from environmental and food samples. Moreover,
there is a lack of diagnostic assays that can handle large numbers of
samples rapidly and inexpensively.
