Chapter 1 - Introduction HumanityDisrupted 2009-11-21 | This documentary was produced to educate the public on the impact of endocrine disruptors. We are exposed to them everyday, usually without knowing it. They get inside our bodies and cause long term biological problems. For example, male sperm count has decreased by 50 percent within the last 50 years, coinciding with the introduction of these chemicals being widely used in industry. It is imperative that these chemicals be phased-out of industry, and our lives. Is it up to us to make a change before it is too late. For more information, please visit www.humanitydisrupted.com.

Chapter 4 - Effects on Humans HumanityDisrupted 2009-11-21 | Human beings are showing signs of frequent exposure to endocrine disruptors. Cancer rates are rising, males are becoming de-masculinized, girls are going through puberty earlier, and so on. Exposure of a fetus to these chemicals can cause long term biological problems. They have been measured in breast milk and other tissues of pregnant females. Scientists are also now starting to link autism and multiple sclerosis to endocrine disruptors. View to find out how you are being effected by exposure to endocrine disruptors. For more information, please visit www.humanitydisrupted.com.
Chapter 5 - How They Get Into Water HumanityDisrupted 2009-11-21 | There are different ways endocrine disruptors are able to get into water. They get into our drinking water because water filtration systems are not capable if filtering them out. They enter rivers and lakes from our everyday lifestyles because wastewater filtration systems are not capable of filtering them out either. Everything that goes down our drains, (much of which is contaminated with endocrine disruptors), ends up back out into the world. Runoff from agricultural fields contribute highly to endocrine disrupting pollution as well. View to find out how endocrine disruptors are entering our water supply.

Chapter 2 - Feminized Fish HumanityDisrupted 2009-11-21 | Throughout the United States, male fish are beginning to grow ovaries inside of their bodies. Scientists say this will interfere with their capability to reproduce. Endocrine disruptors are causing this to happen. They are getting into the water, and then into the fish, causing their sex organs to change. This is happening to other species as well. View to learn about this issue and how it is effecting you.

Chapter 6 - EPA HumanityDisrupted 2009-11-21 | As of right now, little is being done to regulate endocrine disruptors. They are used pervasively in industry, which then ends up in the hands and bodies of consumers, and into the environment. The government is not protecting us as it should, so we must act in protecting ourselves from this new wave of pollution. View to find out what the Environmental Protection Agency is doing to protect us from endocrine disruptors, and how you can take part in this issue.
