Description
The authors review how hormone-disrupting chemicals harm the lungs in a paper from 2024. These chemicals are widespread in the environment and in food. They interfere with the body's hormone system and can raise the risk of diseases such as asthma, chronic lung disease, and lung scarring, with exposure before birth a special concern.
The review lays out the ways these chemicals act inside lung tissue. They can drive oxidative stress, change how cells grow and mature, slow repair, and stir inflammation. They can also weaken the barrier between blood and air, letting harmful substances reach the lung. More work on mechanisms and prevention is urged.
