Leading scientists develop systematic review framework for EDCs

Press/Media: Research

Description

Syrina will lead to more 'transparent and reproducible' literature analyses

A group of 27 scientists, including some of the most prominent endocrine toxicologists, have developed a systematic review and analysis framework, designed to integrate a wide range of scientific evidence on endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs).

Known as "Syrina" (systematic review and integrated assessment), the framework can be used to review and integrate evidence from epidemiology, wildlife, laboratory animals, in vitro and in silico studies, to draw conclusions about the strength of evidence linking EDCs to adverse health or environmental effects.

The authors of the paper, just published in the peer reviewed journal Environmental Health, believe it can increase confidence in risk management conclusions, by using “transparent and reproducible methods that acknowledge uncertainties”. [...]
