Identification of environmental estrogens and other endocrine-disrupting compounds in water samples from the Central Valley of California, which are shown to cause feminization of fishes such as trout and salmon.
Future work may include assessments of whether endocrine disruptors are responsible for fish population declines documented near sewage outfalls in Orange County.
