With the rapid progression of industrialization, the application and release of endocrine disruptors (EDCs), including bisphenol A (BPA), octylphenol and nonylphenol have significantly increased, presenting substantial health hazards. Conventional analytical techniques, such as high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, are highly sophisticated but suffer from complex procedures and high costs. To overcome these limitations, this study introduces an innovative spectral methodology for the simultaneous detection of multiple aquatic multicomponent EDCs.

- Microplastic pollution is a significant environmental issue in China, driven by the country’s extensive production and consumption of plastic products.
- The study compiled data from 7766 sampling sites across various environmental media to analyze the distribution and risks of microplastics, revealing that regional factors like economic status and geography affect pollution levels.
- The authors emphasize the need for a comprehensive regulatory framework utilizing big data and artificial intelligence due to the current limitations in traditional risk assessment methods for microplastics.
