	Endocrine Disrupter (EDC) refers to a chemicals, either natural and man-made, which can interfere with the endocrine system, its hormones or where the hormones act. In many cases, it is not yet clear exactly how an Endocrine Disrupters acts, even in some cases where a link has been shown between Endocrine Disrupter exposure and an adverse effect.

	The ECOTOX (ECOTOXicology) database provides single chemical toxicity information for aquatic and terrestrial life. ECOTOX is a useful tool for examining impacts of chemicals on the environment. Peer-reviewed literature is the primary source of information encoded in the database. Pertinent information on the species, chemical, test methods, and results presented by the author(s) are abstracted and entered into the database.

	Bioaccumulation is a process by which the concentration of a chemical increase over time in a biological organism compared to the chemical's concentration in the environment. Compounds accumulate in living things any time they are taken up and stored faster than they are broken down (metabolized) or excreted.

	Biological magnification (or biomagnification) is the buildup of certain substances, such as DDT, in the bodies of organisms at higher trophic levels of food webs. DDT was once used extensively as an insecticide. DDT builds up in the fatty tissues of organisms. Organisms at lower trophic levels accumulate small amounts. Organisms at the next higher level eat many of these lower-level organisms and hence accumulate larger amounts. At the highest trophic levels the increased concentrations in tissues may become toxic.
