ECOTOPIA SWIMS WITH THE WHALES
Submitted by Stephen Tchudi on Tue, 08/17/2010 - 4:38pm
This week's Ecotopia focuses on growing concern for the health of whales and the oceans in which they swim. Our guest is Douglas Carlton Abrams, author of The Eye of the Whale, a fact-based ecological novel that centers on saving a whale stranded in the Sacramento River Delta. In researching the book, Doug Abrams learned a great deal about pollution in the seas and its effects on endocrine disruption in animals and people.

There is increasing evidence
There is increasing evidence that some synthetic chemicals in our environment may interfere with our bodies' complex and carefully regulated hormonal messenger system. Chemicals can disrupt the endocrine system in several ways. Most endocrine disrupting chemicals are fat-soluble. This means that they do not get rapidly flushed out of the body, but rather are stored in fat. These chemicals bioaccumulate up the food chain.
