Answer 1

The correct answer is E. Was the first book to focus on the impacts of endocrine-disrupting chemicals

Explanation:

"Our Stolen Future" was a book published in 1996 by three authors in which they showed evidence of chemicals that worked as endocrine-disruptors mainly through narratives and chronicles. Indeed in this book, the authors prove there are chemicals that interfere with the hormone or endocrine system and this can led to birth defects, cancer, and other issues in health. This book was especially important because it was the first book in the U.S. that showed the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemical which led to extensive research and regulations to deal with this issue in public health. Therefore, it can be concluded, "Our Stolen Future" was important mainly because it was the first book to focus on the impacts of endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
