Analysis of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds in Food provides a professional source covering most of the recent analytical methodology of endocrine disrupting compounds in food. It addresses the most recent advances in analysis of endocrine disrupting chemicals in food.

While covering conventional (typically lab-based) methods of analysis, the book focuses on leading-edge technologies that recently have been introduced.

Coverage includes:

• food quality assurance and safety
• persistent organic pollutants
• monitoring pesticide and herbicide residues in food
• determining heavy and other metals in food
• discussing the impacts of dioxins, PCBs, PCDFs and many other suspected chemicals
