This Research Topic is focused on recent breakthroughs in analytical chemistry, emphasizing the critical impact of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) on global health. This collection highlights advancements in chemical measurement science, sample treatment, instrumentation, separation, sensing, and imaging. Cutting-edge techniques, including mass spectrometry and high-resolution chromatography, enable precise EDC detection. Innovative sample treatment methods and high-throughput instrumentation enhance sensitivity. Advanced separation techniques and sensing technologies offer real-time monitoring, while imaging techniques provide spatial distribution insights. This Research Topic underscores the pivotal role of analytical chemistry in advancing methodologies to detect and analyse Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), addressing their significant risk to global health.
The Research Topic’s significance is further underscored by integrating nanotechnology into the exploration of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs). Nanotechnology, with its unique tools and methodologies, provides a transformative dimension to our understanding of EDCs' behaviour at the nanoscale. By incorporating nanotoxicological analyses, we can elucidate how EDCs interact with biological entities at dimensions that were previously challenging to assess. Nanotechnology enables the development of advanced sensors, nanostructured materials, and imaging techniques, enhancing the precision and sensitivity of analytical methods in detecting and characterizing EDCs. The incorporation of nanotechnology in this Research Topic serves as a catalyst for groundbreaking advancements in both Analytical Chemistry and Nanotoxicology, fostering a comprehensive understanding of EDCs. This interdisciplinary approach not only strengthens the scientific basis for EDC research but also holds promise for innovative solutions and preventive strategies, aligning with the broader goal of safeguarding global health from the impacts of endocrine-disrupting substances.
