A narrative review of peer-reviewed journals, health agency reports, and regulatory documents was conducted. The findings indicate that EDCs are prevalent in plastics, pesticides, cosmetics, and industrial waste, posing global health and ecological challenges. Recommendations include stricter regulations, enhanced consumer education, and further research on low-dose and combined exposure effects.
