Abstract: “Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a subset of environmental contaminants that can produce adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in both humans and wildlife. EDCs have been reported to have a ubiquitous presence in the environment and in particular aquatic ecosystems. Many EDCs, in fact are not completely removed with conventional wastewater treatment systems. Due to their harmfulness and ubiquity, since the 1990’s a number of countries, multinational governments such as the European Union and inter-government organizations (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, OECD) have initiated or amended programs to integrate EDCs into current strategies to assess chemical safety. These programs has been mainly focused on regulate exposure to EDCs, neglecting the issues about monitoring. Conventional water monitoring processes involves the collection of water samples that only provide snapshots of the situation at the sampling site and time,”
