US EPA Endocrine Disruptor Screening and Testing Advisory Committee (EDSTAC) is a committee formed by EPA under the Federal Advisory Committee Act to advise the Agency on the screening and testing of pesticides and chemicals for their potential to disrupt the endocrine system.

Both the Food Quality Protection Act and the amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act, which were passed in the summer of 1996, require that the Agency:%%develop a screening and testing strategy for endocrine disruptors by August, 1998;

  • implement screening and testing by August, 1999; and

  • report progress to Congress by August, 2000.The EDSTAC Home Page provides some background information on environmental endocrine disruptors, the membership and activities of the Committee, and related international activities. It will provide the public with access to Committee meeting agendas, summaries of Committee meetings, and major briefing and working papers. All meetings of EDSTAC are open to the public and are being held in various locations around the country to encourage public access and involvement.
