Bijna geen informatie is tot nu toe beschikbaar over de verspreiding via de lucht en effecten van endocrine componenten (bijv. xenohormonen als nitromoschus).

2001 January, L.J.M. van der Eerden, J. Franzaring & H.F. van Dobben, Beoordeling van luchtkwaliteitscriteria voor bescherming van natuur. Vaststellen van bruikbaarheid van luchtverontreinigingsconcentraties voor risicoschattingen met De Natuurplanner, Plant Research International B.V, page 7:

Ofschoon de zogeheten xenohormonen, scheikundige producten waarvan de werking lijkt op die van het vrouwelijke oestrogeen, eigenlijk tienduizend maal minder krachtig zijn dan het natuurlijke vrouwelijke hormoon. Het griezelige aan deze waarneming is dat het effect van die xenohormonen niet afhankelijk bleek te zijn van de dosis.

(please add an English translation of this quotation)

Bovendien heeft men opgemerkt dat binding van een xeno-hormoon op een natuurlijke receptor niet altijd tot hetzelfde effect op genexpressie leidt als binding van een endogeen hormoon (Adachi et al., 2004).
