| description | Endocrine disrupting compounds are ubiquitous in the environment and have been implicated in a variety of health problems. Despite awareness of their dangers at trace concentrations, options for analytical detection are limited, as these chemically dissimilar compounds are categorized by their activity rather than their structure. Electrochemical sensors have made significant strides, bringing testing to point-of-exposure settings and improving detection from complex matrices. With advances in disposable sensors and a push toward activity-based rather than structure-based detection, the field is poised to transform monitoring of endocrine disruptors for environmental surveillance and elucidation of biological modes of action. |
