Endocrine Disrupting Compounds: Novel tests for Analysis and Field Validation

该项目将使社区受益于新的分析技术和研究数据，以帮助将内分泌干扰化合物(EDCs)污染环境的威胁降至最低。城市和农村社区都可能感受到EDCs的影响，潜在的污染发生在全球，对野生动物和人类都有影响。内分泌干扰物的主要运输工具是水中的污染物，因此必须了解城市和农村供水中的污染程度，以确定其重要性。这项研究将涉及多学科方法，受益于可持续发展、健康、前沿分析技术和国家安全这四个国家研究优先事项。

This project will give community benefits from new analytical technology and research data to help minimise the threat of environmental contamination with endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs). Both urban and rural communities may feel the impacts of EDCs, with potential contamination occurring globally, affecting both wildlife and humans. The main means of transport of EDCs is as contaminants in water and it is essential to learn the extent of contamination occurring in urban and rural water supplies to decide its significance. The research will involve a multi-disciplinary approach, with benefits falling into all four National Research Priorities of sustainability, good health, frontier analytical technology and national safety.
