Some of these solvents are already reported in the literature as endocrine disruptors, and this backs up our classifications. For example, DMF is listed as a potential endocrine disruptor in a study of chemicals used in natural gas extraction . On a study conducted in workers exposed to DMF in the synthetic leather industry, it has been found to have adverse effects on sperm function . A European analysis on birth weight and length of gestation due to occupational exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals has listed Toluene as an endocrine disrupting solvent . Such a nature of Toluene has also been established on research that studied low-dose effects and nonmonotonic dose responses of hormones and endocrine disrupting chemicals . Alterations in enzyme activities was reported in rat liver due to n-Octane administration . The endocrine disrupting effect of Benzene has been observed in animals and reported on environmental studies . While these studies reinforce our classifications, there are some conflicting reports as well. Our classification of Acetone as an inactive endocrine disrupting solvent is confirmed in the E A's report but we also came across an article that says the opposite .
