Endocrine disruptors, chemicals that interfere with hormone systems in the body, remain a major challenge for human health and the health of cities. Cities across Europe are taking steps to address the issue, with Madrid (Spain) recently committing itself to become an endocrine disruptor free city. In France, the national strategy on endocrine disruptors aims to reduce society’s exposure to them. An upcoming conference on 10 October in Paris (France) will present the experiences of French and European cities in their quest to become endocrine disruptor free areas.

The one day event will commence with an opening address by Anne Hidalgo, the Mayor of Paris, and will consist of lectures on the work of cities across the continent. The conference will also showcase the work of cities in the Baltic States through the NonHazCity project, as well as work undertaken by the City of Lille (France) through their ‘100 days of health’ project.

The conference is organised in partnership with Elus Santé Publique Territoires and Mairie du IIe arr town hall, Paris with the support of Paris City Council.
