Analysis, Detection and Prevention Process of Organic Pollutants

Dear Colleagues,

At present, the ubiquitous presence of organic pollutants—including plasticisers, fluoroalkyl substances, flame retardants, etc.—represents a major threat to the environment and human health. Their persistence and bioaccumulation, together with their toxicity, make continuous monitoring and prevention necessary.

This Special Issue aims to compile a comprehensive collection of research and review papers discussing innovative analytical methodologies developed for the determination of organic contaminants in food, environmental and biological matrices. Studies that focus on identifying prevention strategies are also highly valued. Similarly, works on current worldwide policies regarding organic pollutants will be considered for publication in this Special Issue.

Suitable topics for this issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Use of cutting-edge materials for sample preparation in the analysis of organic pollutants.
• Development of high-resolution mass spectrometry-based methods for trace determination of organic pollutants.
• Dietary risk assessments related to the accidental consumption of organic pollutants.
• Global legislation on and important guidelines for organic pollutants.
