  • Chapter
Andrologie

  • 70 Accesses

Zusammenfassung

Der Mensch ist sein gesamtes Leben hindurch unzählbaren, sehr unterschiedlichen, natürlich vorkommenden und synthetischen Stoffen ausgesetzt. Damit verbundene Risiken toxischer Einflüsse auf den menschlichen Organismus haben stets existiert, haben jedoch seit der industriellen Revolution durch die Synthese und industrielle Verbreitung neuartiger oder hoch angereicherter Verbindungen zweifelsfrei zugenommen.
