Development of monitoring methods for phenolic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like bisphenol A is imperative, as they disrupt homeostasis of the body's endocrine system, posing serious threats to human health. Herein, a natural flavonoid based hyper cross-linked polymer (STF-HCP1) was synthesized for the first time. STF-HCP1 achieves excellent adsorption of phenolic EDCs (bisphenol A, p -tert-butylphenol, bisphenol B, bisphenol F) through hydrogen bonding and π–π interactions. STF-HCP1 based solid phase extraction was coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for sensitive quantification of trace phenolic EDCs in chicken and fish samples. Under optimum conditions, this method showed lower limit of detection (0.58–2.1 ng g −1 for chickens and 0.70–3.2 ng g −1 for fish), satisfactory spiked recovery (91.1–106 %) and high precision (relative standard deviation ≤6.7 %). Beyond offering a viable method for sensitive detection of phenolic EDCs, this study highlights a novel strategy to prepare effective adsorbents using natural raw materials.

Herein, silica nanoparticles were employed as the carrier for surface molecular imprinted polymer with high selectivity for Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). Nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs) were incorporated to enhance the chemiluminescence intensity of the Luminol-H 2 O 2 system, as TBBPA was found to effectively suppress the chemiluminescence signal of this system. Based on these principles, a molecular imprinting technique-chemiluminescence (MIT-CL) sensor was developed by integrating the NGQDs-sensitized Luminol-H 2 O 2 chemiluminescence system with the specific recognition material SiO 2 @TBBPA MIP was constructed to detect TBBPA in environmental water samples. Under the optimal conditions, the sensor exhibited a linear detection range of 8.0 × 10 −10 -2.0 × 10 −8 mol/L, with the detection limit (3σ/k) of 3.2 × 10 −11 mol/L. The illustrated MIT-CL method was utilized for the detection of TBBPA in water samples, yielding satisfactory recovery rates ranging from 96.25 % to 107.50 %.
