Key Characteristics of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals

The original working group met at UC Berkeley on March 7-8, 2018, and was hosted by Martyn Smith (UC Berkeley) and Lauren Zeise (OEHHA, CalEPA). The group was co-chaired* by Michele La Merrill (UC Davis) and Thomas Zoeller (U. Mass.). The group examined the literature and developed 12 key characteristics (KCs) of endocrine disrupting chemicals and subsequently published a paper in 2020, La Merrill et al., 2020, which included additional invited experts**.
