Abstract
|
EDCs constitute one of the most important continuous environmental problems globally, given the impact they have on human health, biodiversity, and even ecosystem stability [9]. Taking into account the continually increasing knowledge on the threats imposed by those chemical compounds, methods that are appropriate, efficient, and easily accessible to analytical monitoring remain quite rare for the determination at trace levels. For this to be bridged, the development of effective materials, for instance, 3D printing of adsorbents, is an important development in further improvement of monitoring EDCs in an effective way [10].
This work serves the urgent request for sustainable methods in analytical laboratories. Most conventional techniques have a high organic solvent and material usage that is non-recyclable and seriously harms the environment. Given the focus of the development and use in 3D-printed sorbents, the study in this work follows the principles of green chemistry and hence serves as an environmentally friendly alternative that can be more widely applied in different analytical applications.
