식품의약품안전청은 식품의 기구나 용기로 사용되는 금속제에 대해 납, 크롬, 니켈 등 용출규격을 강화하고 내분비계장애물질(환경호르몬)으로 의심되는 비스페놀 A에 대해서도 강화된 기준을 마련하여 입안 예고 했다. 식약청은 현재 분리되어 있는 금속제 및 금속관의 규격을「금속제」로 통합하고 크롬 및 니켈에 대한 용출규격을 각각 0.1mg/L 이하로 신설하고자 하며, 납 0.1% 이상 함유한 금속으로 기구 및 용기포장의 식품과 직접 접촉하는 부분을 제조 금지토록 하는 등을 주요내용으로 정했다. 본 고에서는 주요 내용과 법안을 살펴보고 신.구조문을 비교해 살펴보도록 한다.

Purpose: To investigate factors that affect behaviors of reducing exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in breastfeeding mothers. Methods: Subjects were 166 breastfeeding mothers who were recruited from January 25 to April 15, 2018. The questionnaire consisted of items associated with behaviors of reducing exposure to EDCs, attitude to behaviors of reducing exposure, subject norms of behavior of reducing exposure, and perceived behavior control. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlations, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: Factors influencing behaviors of reducing the exposure to EDCs were attitude toward behaviors of reducing exposure, perceived barrier, and period of lactation. The more positive the attitude toward behaviors of reducing exposure was, the lower the perceived barrier. The longer the feeding period, the higher the behaviors of reducing the exposure to EDCs. Conclusions: To enhance behaviors of reducing the exposure to EDCs, it is necessary to develop a positive educational program in breastfeeding department to improve attitude toward behaviors of reducing the exposure to EDCs, decrease perceived barrier, and increase the breastfeeding period.

내분비계 장애를 일으킬 수 있다고 추정되는 물질로는 각종 산업용 화학물질, 살충제와 제초제 등의 농약류, 유기 중금속류, 소각장의 다이옥신류, 식물에 존재하는 식물성 에스트로겐 (phytoestrogen) 등의 호르몬 유사물질, DES (diethylstilbestrol) 등의 합성 에스트로겐류 및 기타 식품, 식품첨가물 등이 포함된다. 이와 같은 물질들은 생물들에게 독성을 나타내므로 많은 나라들은 그 사용을 금지하거나 제한하고 있는 실정이다. (중략)

여러 가지 화학물질이나 중금속 등에 의한 생물학적 피해가 오랜 기간에 걸쳐 연구 되어 왔는데, 최근 들어 화학물질 가운데 TBTs, PCBs, DBTs 등이 내분비계 장애물질로 분류되어 여러 가지 환경적인 규제의 대상이 되었다. 이 가운데 TBTs는 살충제로서 개발되어 선박 등의 방오도료에 이용되고 있으며, 이들 물질에 장기간 노출된 수 서생물은 생식 및 생리대사에 영향을 받게된다 (Piver, 1973). (중략)

The objective of this study was to evaluate the oxidation method to remove endocrine disrupting chemicals in reverse osmosis(RO) retentate for the reuse of wastewater effluent. Oxidation of organic pollutants was induced by the persulfate catalyzed by Fe(II). Affecting factors such as initial pH and ionic strength on the Fe(II) catalyzed persulfate oxidation were evaluated. $17{\alpha}$-ethynylestradiol (EE2) degradation efficiency decreased as pH and ionic strength increased. However, the efficiency increased as chloride ion concentration increased due to the influence of radical transfer.

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) disturb animal hormonal system even at very low concentrations, and finally give harmful effects to human through the food web. A white rot fungus Phlebia tremellosa isolated in Korea, was reported to have good degrading activity against the endocrine disrupting phthalates. However, this fungus has very low manganese peroxidase (MnP) activity under various culture conditions while laccase and lignin peroxidase activities were high. We have isolated an MnP cDNA from Trametes versicolor which was involved in the degradation of EDCs, and constructed an MnP expression vector to use in the genetic transformation of P. tremellosa in order to get higher MnP producing strains. Many transformants had integrated expression vector in their chromosomal DNAs, and showed increased MnP activity. One of two transformants showed increased degradation of 4 EDCs (70${\sim}$88%) than the wild type (30${\sim}$45% degradation rates), and showed twice better removal of estrogenic activities generated by the EDCs than the wild type.

It is important to understand the potential human health implications of exposure to environmental chemicals that may act as hormonally active agents. It is necessary to have an understanding of how pharmaceutical and personal care products and other chemicals affect the ecosystem of our planet as well as human health. Endocrine disruption is defined as the ability of a chemical contaminating the workplace or the environment to interfere with homeostasis, development, reproduction, and/or behavior in a living organism or it's offspring. Certain classes of environmentally persistent chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins, furans, and some pesticides can adversely effect the endocrine systems of aquatic life and terrestrial wildlife. Research continues to support the theory of endocrine disruption. However, endocrine disruption researches have been applied to proteomics poorly. Proteomics can be defined as the systematic analysis of proteins for their identity, quantity and function. It could increase the predictability of early drug development and identify non-invasive biomarkers of tonicity or efficacy. Proteome analysis is most commonly accomplished by the combination of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D/E) and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS) sr protein chip array and SELDI-TOF MS. Proteomics have an opportunity to play an important role in resolving the question of what role endocrine disruptors play in initiating human disease. Proteomics can also play an imfortant role in the evaluation of the risk assessment and use of risk management and risk communication tools required to address public health concerns related to notions of endocrine disruptors. Understanding the need for the proteomics and possessing knowledge of the developing biomakers used to abbess endocrine activity potential will he essential components relevant to the topic of endocrine disruptors.

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), used in a variety of products in modern society, are hormone-like substances that cause various diseases. Humans are exposed to EDCs through their inclusion in pesticides, plastics, cosmetics, detergents, and drugs. Bisphenol A (BPA), one of the representative endocrine disruptors, is an estrogen-like substance that has been widely used commercially in plastic and epoxy resins. BPA is a chemical that can disrupt the endocrine system, leading to reduced reproductive function, obesity, cancer, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Since the adverse health effects of BPA began to be reported the use of BPA has been regulated worldwide. Various alternatives to BPA have been widely used worldwide; representatively, bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (BPF) are the most commonly used in commercial contexts. BPS and BPF may cause endocrine-disrupting effects like those of BPA due to their similar chemical structures. Recent studies have reported that BPS and BPF disrupt the neurodevelopmental process and cause neurodevelopmental disorders. Therefore, future studies will be required for safety verification of BPA alternatives and the development of new alternatives to BPA for brain health. In this review, we reviewed the effects of BPA and the alternatives, BPS and BPF, on the nervous system.

'UNEP Global Environment Outlook 2000'의 자료에 의하면, 향후 1000년에 가장 심각한 환경문제는 "지구온난화" 였다. $CO_2$ 농도 증가 등으로 인한 기후변화로 지난 100년간 전 세계적으로 기온은 평균 0.3~0.6$^{\circ}C$ 상승, 해수면은 평균 25 cm 내외 상승, 프레온가스 등으로 인하여 성층권의 오존층이 파괴되어 피부암과 안질환이 급증하고 면역기능이 저하되며, 현종 식물종 8%, 조류 11%, 어류 5%, 포유류 14%가 멸종위기에 처하는 등 생물다양성의 감소, 내분비계 장애물질(환경호르몬) 증가로 유해화학물질에 더욱 노출되고 있다.
