Results of the Consensus Platforms: Positions and Recommendations Derived from Scientific Findings in a Joint Effort of Academics, Industry, and Authorities

Abstract

To convert scientific findings of the National Research Program (NRP) 'Endocrine Disruptors' into political and practical action the innovative tool of the consensus platforms has been created. The consensus platforms brought together representatives of the NRP, of the authorities and industry. They prepared generally accepted positions on the effects of endocrine disruptors and recommendations on actions to be taken to minimize these effects. This article shows the positions and recommendations of all three consensus platforms.
