what are its economic effects?
Human exposure may cause some health effects, such as lower IQ and adult obesity which may lead to lost productivity, disability, or premature death in some people

why is the peregrine falcon the fastest bird Due to its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive) how fast is it? UNANSWERABLE what is its scientific name? Falco peregrinus what is its conservation status? Their population has bounced back in most parts of the world and the species is no longer at risk even in Canada where it was identified as endangered in 1978 where is it mostly found? Nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical rainforests what kind of diet do they follow? Medium-sized birds such as pigeons and doves, waterfowl, songbirds, and waders what can you tell me about its breeding? it is sexually mature at one to three years of age, but in larger populations they breed after two to three years of age can you describe its structure ? The back and the long pointed wings of the adult are usually bluish black to slate grey with indistinct darker barring, the wingtips are black does it have any cultural significance? Yes. The Ancient Egyptian solar deity Ra was often represented as a man with the head of a Peregrine Falcon adorned with the solar disk earlier you mentioned that they were at risk on the basis of their population. was there any reason for it? The use of organochlorine pesticides, especially DDT what is its full form? Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane when was it initially prepared? 1874 by whom? Othmar Zeidler is it harmful to the environment? Yes. It is a persistent organic pollutant that is readily adsorbed to soils and sediments, which can act both as sinks and as long-term sources of exposure affecting organisms how is it associated with human health? It is an endocrine disruptor and is considered likely to be a human carcinogen what more can you tell me about the former? They are chemicals that can interfere with endocrine systems what can you tell me about its roots of exposure? Diet is thought to account for up to 90% of a person's PCB and DDT body burden

Endocrine disruptor [SEP] Economic effects
Human exposure may cause some health effects, such as lower IQ and adult obesity. These effects may lead to lost productivity, disability, or premature death in some people. One source estimated that, within the European Union, this economic effect might have about twice the economic impact as the effects caused by mercury and lead contamination. The socio-economic burden of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC)-associated health effects for the European Union was estimated based on currently available literature and considering the uncertainties with respect to causality with EDCs and corresponding health-related costs to be in the range of €46 billion to €288 billion per year.
