Highlights from the January 4, 1999 edition of the Endocrine/Estrogen Letter include:
- EPA releases endocrine disrupter plan "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its proposed Endocrine Disrupter Screening Program (EDSP) on December 24 and is soliciting public comment on the plan, which is based on recommendations made by the Endocrine Disrupter Screening and Testing Advisory Committee (EDSTAC)."
- New ED science featured at Kyoto meeting "The International Symposium on Environmental Endocrine Disrupters '98 in Kyoto, Japan attracted 1,300 researchers from around the world for two days of scientific sessions (December 11, 12) and over 3,500 members of the Japanese public on December 13 for a public session."
- Low dose dispute erupts in Kyoto An emotional debate about the significance of conflicting research into the low dose effects of bisphenol A and other compounds erupted on the second day of the Kyoto symposium on endocrine disrupters, polarizing participants into pro- and anti-industry camps."
- J.P. Myers: Industry lacks moral, ethical basis for ED research "Industry lacks the moral authority to conduct research on endocrine disrupters and should confine its role in resolving scientific questions to paying for studies conducted by academic and government scientists, according to John Peterson Myers, director of the W. Alton Jones Foundation."
