Abstract
Environmental oestrogens are a diverse group of natural
and synthetic chemicals that include some surfactants,
pharmaceuticals, pesticides, cosmetics, plastisers and other
chemicals found in agricultural, industrial and sewage
effluent (Matozzo et al. 2008). Environmental oestrogen
contamination can result in significant reproductive, developmental
and other physiological problems for exposed
organisms and have therefore become a global concern
(Matozzo et al. 2008).
