Today, we are exposed to an ever-growing number of chemicals in the environment. There is also an increasing awareness of the effects of environmental chemicals on the ovaries. As such, the potential for xenobiotic-induced infertility needs to be better understood. Additionally, menopause-associated disorders are of growing health concern in view of the fact that by the year 2025, 19.5% of the population of the U.S. will be menopause-aged women. Exploring research into chemicals that have the potential to cause early menopause by destroying pre-antral ovarian follicles, this book will serve as an essential resource for researchers in academia, regulatory agencies and industry.
