Fracking Chemicals Linked to Endocrine Disruptions.

For example, in response to questions about whether certain environmental chemicals may interfere with the endocrine system and cause negative effects, government and scientific bodies have been working to distinguish between whether a substance is merely endocrine active, or whether, under certain exposure scenarios, a substance goes beyond a simple interaction that is reversible and causes no harm to one that results in adverse health effects — endocrine disruption.

If there are no adverse health effects, there's endocrine interaction but not endocrine disruption, and the substances are not endocrine disrupting chemicals, a label frequently misused by the media and others.
