Scientific summary
The overall goal is to identify, at the population level, occupational and environmental exposures (particularly endocrine disruptors) as risk factors for developmental disorders and alteration of reproductive functions, including fertility, child development and prostate cancer. To achieve this objective, large scale epidemiological studies in regions particularly concerned with environmental pollution (Brittany & French West Indies) have been implemented. Assessment of exposure of these populations are based on advanced analytical tools using a panel of biological and environmental indicators, as well as modelling.
