Special Issue Introduction
Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) are substances that can interfere with the normal functioning of the endocrine system. They are ubiquitous in our environment, found in foods, drinking water, cosmetics, plastics, and more. In recent years, EDCs have garnered significant attention due to their potential adverse effects on human health. The primary objectives of this Special Issue are to promote a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between EDC exposure and human health, and to provide information to researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the public on how to reduce exposure and manage associated risks.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
● Exogenous sources and exposure pathways of EDCs;
● Interference of EDCs with the endocrine system and potential physiological and health effects;
● Associations between EDCs and chronic diseases: Investigate potential links between EDCs and chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and infertility, and discuss the scientific evidence supporting these connections;
● Monitoring and assessment of EDCs: Establish effective methods for monitoring and assessing individuals' exposure to EDCs and develop/optimize corresponding risk assessment approaches;
● Evaluating exposure and epidemiology of indoor and outdoor air quality, diet, and drinking water;
● The relationship between EDC environmental exposures and human health across the life course;
● Risk Management and policy measures: Evaluate current risk management strategies and policies, investigating the link between ecosystem health and human health and their input on EDCs policy and regulation;
● Alternatives and Green Chemistry: Explore the potential role of alternatives and green chemistry in reducing EDC exposures and their feasibility in practice.
We invite researchers, experts, and practitioners to share their research findings and insights, contributing to an enhanced understanding of the relationship between EDCs and human health. Through this Special Issue, we aim to provide valuable information to improve public health and environmental quality. It offers a comprehensive perspective to better grasp the exposure of EDCs and their potential threats to human health and ecosystems.
