Research progress on the effects of pesticides endocrine disrupting chemicals on anura amphibians

Pesticides endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) pose a certain threat to human health and the ecological environment. Because of their transitional stages in aquatic ecosystems and terrestrial ecosystems, anura amphibians play an important role in the food chain. They are also common model organisms for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to identify and evaluate the effects of compounds. Therefore, the study on the effects of pesticide EDCs on anura amphibians can further evaluate the ecological risks of pesticides and is helpful for the fully understanding of pesticides EDCs. In this review, the research progress of pesticide EDCs on thyroid and gonadal disturbance in anura amphibians were summarized. And the far-reaching significance of the study on the effects of pesticide EDCs on anura amphibians was prospected. The purpose of which is to comprehensively evaluate the ecological risks of pesticides and provide scientific basis for introducing more comprehensive and scientific test methods and evaluation standards into the pesticide safety evaluation system.
