More and more increased intensity of anthropopressure processes can be observed, among other things, in the release of great quantities of synthetic substances into the environment, including the Endocrine Disrupting Compounds. The effects of the above-mentioned human impact on the environment not only can be noticed in the homeostasis disturbance in ecosystems, but they are also visible with respect to human. The high incidence rate of cancer and other civilization diseases has become a serious social problem. Therefore, all attempts to broaden the knowledge about the relations and mechanisms triggering the development of relevant diseases are justified. The goal of the conducted research was to use bioanalytic methods to evaluate cytotoxicity and acute toxicity of the selected EDCs which cause serious food contamination (bisphenol A, 4-nonynphenol, 4-t-octylphenol, diethylstilbestrol, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether and its derivatives and phthalates) with MTT cel viability assay and Microtox® assay.
