On October 28, 2024, the Food Packaging Forum, in collaboration with ETH Zürich, held the first Swiss Symposium on Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs). The event featured in-depth scientific talks and discussions all about EDCs. Recordings of all talks are available at the bottom of this page.
Hormones are vital messenger chemicals that regulate growth, development, and normal health functions in organisms. EDCs are exogenous substances that interfere with hormone signaling, affecting hormone levels and disrupting normal biological functions. These chemicals have emerged as a major health concern, backed up by scientific evidence.
Throughout the day, participants heard leading experts talk about the history of EDC research, as well as ongoing and future efforts to better understand hazards and exposures associated with these compounds.
