Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) have the potential to alter hormone pathways that regulate life processes in humans, vertebrates and invertebrates. Besides xenobiotics having endocrine effects, there arc naturally occurring estrogenie compounds. The limited number of studies with EDCs in invertebrates is partially due to the fact that their hormonal systems arc rather poorly understood in comparison with vertebrates. It is also important, but difficult to discriminate between hormone - mediated and other toxicological modes of action. Data of the potentially adverse impact of EDCs on wildlife species arc reviewed.

Związki zakłócające procesy hormonalne (EDs - endocrine disruptors) zmieniają funkcje hormonów regulujących przemiany fizjologiczne u ludzi, kręgowców i bezkręgowców. Do tych związków należą zarówno ksenobiotyki jak i substancje pochodzenia naturalnego między innymi o charakterze estrogenów. W piśmiennictwie jest niewiele danych o systemach hormonalnych u bezkręgowców i zaburzeniach w ich funkcjach pod wpływem zanieczyszczeń. W artykule podano informacje mające na celu przybliżenie problemów metodycznych w badaniach ckotoksykologicznych wybranych ED na niektórych grupach bezkręgowców.
