Topic: Exposure Assessment of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals

The pervasive production and use of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have led to widespread human and environmental exposure through multiple pathways, including dietary intake, drinking water, inhalation of indoor dust, and dermal contact with consumer products. Growing evidence links EDC exposure to adverse health outcomes such as reproductive disorders, metabolic syndrome, and neurodevelopmental deficits. Therefore, research on the occurrence of these chemicals in the environment, along with their human exposure and associated health risks, is of great interest.

This Special Issue, entitled "Exposure Assessment of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals", aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in the field of EDCs, covering their occurrence, exposure, risk, and toxicity.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

● Novel biomonitoring and analytical methods for detecting EDCs in environmental and biological matrices;

● Occurrence and human exposure of EDCs;

● Epidemiological studies linking EDC exposure to endocrine-related health outcomes;

● Toxicity of EDCs and their associated mechanisms;

● Application of machine learning and QSAR in evaluating ecological and human risks of EDC mixtures.
