Applied Water Science
Applied Water Science is an open access journal that explores water scarcity solutions from a holistic system oriented viewpoint.
The special issue “Sensing and Mitigation of Endocrine Disruptors in Polluted Water” emphasizes the identification and mitigation of detrimental substances in water that disrupt the endocrine system. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) encompass compounds such as bisphenol A, phthalates, insecticides, and synthetic estrogens, which can exert considerable detrimental effects on human health and environment. This collection focuses on current progress in detecting these contaminants and establishing strategies for minimizing their presence in water sources. It discusses EDC sources, health effects, and cutting-edge technology for removing and detecting them.
The special issue is particularly interested in the following topics but not limited to:
Advanced Sensing Technologies for EDCs• Nanosensors and biosensors
• Optical and electrochemical sensing methods
• Real-time monitoring and field-deployable sensors
Analytical Methods for EDC Detection• Chromatographic techniques
• Mass spectrometry methods
• Challenges and advancements in EDC analysis
Impact of EDCs on Health and Environment• Biological effects and mechanisms of EDCs
• Impact on aquatic ecosystems
• Human health risks associated with EDC exposure
Mitigation and Treatment Strategies• Conventional water treatment methods
• Advanced oxidation processes
• Bioremediation and nanomaterial-based treatments
Case Studies of EDC Management• Successful examples of EDC detection and removal
• Lessons learned from real-world applications
• Future directions in EDC management
