the world upside down, the promotion of the disease is in the food in the environment. The importance of knowing what emerging contaminants are is that every day we face them in pharmaceuticals, household cleaning and personal care products, and in food. It is estimated that a source of pollution is untreated urban wastewater and effluents from wastewater treatment plants, since these substances end up being released into surface water, into the soil. Studies reveal that the main effects of exposure of different fish species to estrogenic compounds include alteration of sexual development, as well as changes in mating behavior, reduction of reproductive success and alterations of the endocrine system.
These changes can be expressed later in the life cycle or even in future generations. This affects humans who have reported low sperm count and deterioration in male reproductive health and, on the other hand, breast cancer in women, as a consequence of increasing exposure to these compounds. Pharmaceutical industries, hospitals and treatment plants oppose legislation for in situ disposal because it involves high costs in treatments to eliminate harmful compounds before they are released into the environment.

DES is a synthetic estrogen that has been used as an agent to prevent miscarriage in pregnant women. The most pronounced effects seen in DES daughters include structural abnormalities in the reproductive organs, adverse reproductive outcomes, and cancers of the reproductive system, including the vagina, cervix and breast https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1521693423001013 (2024).-- https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/obr.13738 (2024).-- https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1559325820916949 (2020).-- https://www.euractiv.com/section/agriculture-food/news/eu-commission-moves-to-ban-bisphenol-a-in-food-packaging/ (2024).-
