Expert report: How are endocrine disrupting properties of non-active substances currently assessed – and what are the challenges?

Triskelion’s experts Yuzhu (Celia) Wei and Ingrid Sterenborg discuss the present practice of assessing endocrine disrupting properties of co-formulants and suggest possible improvements.
