Recent data indicate that urban air harbors a complex mixture of industrial chemicals, pesticides, and combustion by-products, many of which may act as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). By interfering with the endocrine system, EDCs can affect human health. Hence, there is an urgent need to ...

One of the challenges arising during non-targeted analysis (NTA) is that the number of detected chemical features is generally too large for detailed processing and interpretation. Here, we illustrate how the analysis of spatial trends in peak intensities can be an effective tool to prioritize chemical features in NTA. Specifically, features detected by g ...
