The main aim of this article is to provide an overview of the evolution and trends in the determination of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in environmental matrices, such as water, sediment, and biota samples. These chemical substances are capable of altering the hormonal system of humans and wildlife at low concentrations, and therefore, continuous investigations based on their occurrence, distribution, and impact are needed to preserve the environment and protect public safety. In order to highlight the gradual change related to the strategies used for EDC determination observed in the past years, this article is divided into four sections: firstly, a brief introduction about the remarkable and emerging EDCs and also the corresponding environmental legislation is included. Then, the state of the determination of EDCs in the environment and the analytical methodologies employed for the analysis of environmental matrices are discussed, with special mention to the new trends in analytical techniques. Finally, future trends required to obtain more data about this topic and control EDCs pollution in the environment are also commented.
