ABSTRACT
Research examining the occurrence of endocrine disruptors (ED) in the marine environment has substantially increased. These contaminants have been observed in several environmental compartments and matrices, and they may cause severe adverse effects in humans and ecosystems. In this study more than 240 papers investigating the analytical developments regarding the analysis on ED in environmental matrices and the occurrence of these compounds were critically evaluated. Modern sample preparation procedures aiming the use of minimal sample manipulation, minimal amount of solvents and energy according to the Green Chemistry principles are widely used. The ED in marine environments occurs in trace concentrations and their quantification still represents a challenge. The effects of these contaminants in marine ecosystems are poorly understood. However, due to their large use, it is predicted that new analytical developments to deal with ED contamination will promote a large increase in the number of scientific publications in the near future. Regulations and mitigation measures for the presence of these contaminants in the environment are still scarce and need to be quickly implemented to reduce potential future adverse effects on ecosystem services of coastal environments.

RESUMO
Pesquisas que examinam a ocorrência de interferentes endócrinos (IE) no ambiente marinho têm aumentado substancialmente. Estes contaminantes podem causar efeitos adversos em seres humanos e nos ecossistemas e têm sido observados em vários compartimentos e matrizes ambientais. Neste estudo, mais de 240 trabalhos que relataram o desenvolvimento analítico de IE em diversas matrizes e a ocorrência destes compostos no ambiente marinho foram criticamente avaliados. Procedimentos de preparo de amostra, visando a mínima manipulação, a mínima quantidade de solventes e energia de acordo com os princípios de Química Verde estão sendo amplamente utilizados. Os IE em ambientes marinhos ocorrem em concentrações traço e sua quantificação ainda representa um grande desafio. Como resultado, os efeitos desses contaminantes em ecossistemas marinhos ainda são mal compreendidos. No entanto, devido ao amplo uso destes compostos é previsto que novos desenvolvimentos analíticos para a determinação de IE irão promover um grande aumento no número de publicações científicas no futuro. Regulações e medidas mitigadoras para a ocorrência destes contaminantes ainda são bastante reduzida e precisam ser rapidamente implementadas para reduzir os futuros potenciais efeitos adversos nos serviços ecossistêmicos dos ecossistemas costeiros.
