Among the plethora of chemicals released into the environment, much attention is paid to endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). Natural estrogens, such as estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), estriol (E3) are excreted by humans as well as animals, and can enter the environment as a result of discharging domestic sewage and animal waste.
These compounds can cause deleterious effects such as feminization, infertility and hermaphroditism in organisms that inhabit water bodies. — https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0043135422013586

According to data from the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute released last week, Americans bought 21 percent more heat pumps in 2023 than the next-most popular heating appliance, fossil gas furnaces. That’s the biggest lead heat pumps have opened up over conventional furnaces in the two decades of data available from the trade group.
Heat pumps outsold gas furnaces again last year — and the gap is growing — Mikie
