A Review of the Endocrine Activity of Parabens and Implications for Potential Risks to Human Health
TL;DR: It is biologically implausible that parabens could increase the risk of any estrogen-mediated endpoint, including effects on the male reproductive tract or breast cancer, and a comparative approach involving both dose and potency is used to assess whether in utero or adult exposure to paraben might be associated with adverse effects mediated via an estrogen-modulating mode of action.

Environmental endocrine modulators and human health: an assessment of the biological evidence.
Robert Golden,Kenneth L. Noller,Linda Titus-Ernstoff,Raymond H. Kaufman,Robert Mittendorf,Robert Stillman,Elizabeth A. Reese +6 more
TL;DR: Biological plausibility alone is an insufficient basis for concluding that environmental endocrine modulators have adversely affected humans, and it appears unlikely that in utero exposure to usual levels of environmental estrogenic substances, from whatever source, would be sufficient to produce many of the effects.

Identifying an indoor air exposure limit for formaldehyde considering both irritation and cancer hazards
TL;DR: It is concluded that a formaldehyde indoor air limit of 0.1 ppm should protect even particularly susceptible individuals from both irritation effects and any potential cancer hazard.

Chloroform mode of action : Implications for cancer risk assessment
TL;DR: The weight of the scientific evidence concerning chloroform-induced tumors in rodents is consistent with and supports a cancer risk assessment methodology based on mode of action as the basis for establishing regulatory standards for this compound.

The human relevant potency threshold: reducing uncertainty by human calibration of cumulative risk assessments.
Cristopher J. Borgert,Edward V. Sargent,George Casella,Daniel R. Dietrich,Lynn Scott McCarty,Robert Golden +5 more
TL;DR: The Human-Relevant Potency-Threshold (HRPT) approach recommends application of independent action for phthalates and other chemicals with potential anti-androgenic properties at current human exposure levels because of the contradictions inherent in the DA-CAOS concept.
