SIGNIFICANCE OF FOOD CHAIN ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS\u27 EFFECTS ON PEOPLE

V magistrskem delu smo proučevali, kako se odzove človeški organizem na hormonske motilce. Z anketnim vprašalnikom, ki so ga izpolnjevali študentje in zaposleni na fakulteti za kmetijstvo in biosistemske vede v Mariboru, zaposleni na medicinski fakulteti v Mariboru, obeh fakultet za kemijo in kemijsko tehnologijo v Sloveniji, sodelavci v Žitu, d. d., Maribor in nekdanji sodelavci v Marifarmu, d. o. o., Maribor, smo raziskali, kakšen odnos in védenje imajo anketiranci do hormonskih motilcev. Anketo smo izvedli v septembru in oktobru 2014 in v analizo zajeli 60 anketirancev. Namen magistrskega dela z naslovom Pomen delovanja hormonskih motilcev v prehrambeni verigi na človeka je predstaviti posledice delovanja hormonskih motilcev na človeški organizem. Predmet raziskave magistrskega dela je bil predstaviti, kateri hormonski motilci delujejo na endokrini sistem. Z anketo smo dobili informacije glede zastavljenih vprašanj. Za analizo rezultatov smo uporabili računalniški program SPSS, statistična testa Friedmanov in Wilcoxonov test predznačenih rangov. Ugotovitve so pokazale, da se anketiranci zavedajo potencialnih nevarnosti hormonskih motilcev. Glede na rezultate ankete smo dognali, da obstajajo statistično pomembne značilne razlike. Gre za vprašanje o prisotnosti hormonskih motilcev v zdravilih. Za hormonske motilce so anketirani največkrat izvedeli na internetu. O vprašanju glede zakonodaje. Kaj je v zvezi z vprašanjem o odgovornosti proizvajalca ter statistično nepomembne razlike glede v starosti anketirancev, in sicer pri mnenju, da HDC-ji vplivajo na kvaliteto življenja.The master’s thesis examines how a human organism responds to endocrine disrupters. A questionnaire was responded by the students and staff of the Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences Maribor, staff of the Faculty of Medicine Maribor and both Faculties of Chemistry and Chemical Technology in Slovenia, as well as by the employees of Žito Plc Maribor and former co-workers of Marifarm Ltd Maribor. The goal was to explore the respondents’ attitude towards the researched problem and their knowledge about endocrine disrupters. A total of 60 respondents completed the survey, which was conducted in September and October in 2014. The purpose of the master’s thesis, entitled Significance of Food Chain Endocrine Disruptors\u27 Effects on People, is to present the effects of endocrine disruptors on human organism. It also aims to determine, which disruptors have an impact on the endocrine system. The survey results provided answers to the questions. The SPSS software, Friedman\u27s statistical test, and Wilcoxon\u27s signed ranks test were used to analyse the results. The findings indicate that the respondents are aware of potential risks related to endocrine disruptors. Statistically significant differences were found with the questionnaire. The respondents usually acquired information about the endocrine disruptors in medicinal products via the internet
