ECD are of particular interest to the environmental and medical sciences, but although there is some data for the ECD effect of pesticides, ECD - related risks for most of the chemicals (approximately 90,000) are still not available, and many scientific uncertainties exist.

Adsorption of (bio)polymers occurs ubiquitously, and among the biopolymers, proteins are most surface active. Wherever and whenever a protein-containing (aqueous) solution is exposed to a (solid) surface, it results in the spontaneous accumulation of protein molecules at the solid-water interface, thereby altering the characteristics of the sorbent surface and, in most cases, of the protein molecules as well (Malmsten 2003). Therefore, the interaction between proteins and interfaces attracts attention from a wide variety of disciplines, ranging from environmental sciences to food processing and medical sciences. 

Models from political science that seek to explain the role of science in these sorts of policy decisions have often depicted a one-way relationship, summarized most easily as speaking truth to power. 30 According to this archetype, experts can be placed on a spectrum ranging from scientists, who possess pure knowledge, to politicians, who embody decision-making authority. Scientists provide clear answers to government officials on military, environmental, and medical policy questions.31... 

We need scientific literate and informed people to make decisions about such things as major government projects in space exploration and medical science health problems, environmental and population problems, such as air and water pollution diseases such as cancer or tuberculosis and epidemics or the possible effects of chemical pesticides upon us and our environment. 

Coming back to the most granted projects in terms of subject of interest, Natural sciences and Medical sciences are covering together 26.52% of the total CD projects. These are the subject areas including themes related to the environmental protection and public health concern. Assuming that less than half of the two groups of projects are strictly related to environmental protection and public health we arrive to an approximate 10% of the total CD projects that are in the announced subject of interest of this paper.

GC and LC (or HPLC) are two of the most widely used separation techniques in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, and medical and environmental sciences. 

A good LC/MS instrument routinely provides a means for obtaining the identities and amounts of mixture components rapidly and efficiently. It is not unusual to examine micrograms or less of materia). LC/MS is used in a wide range of applications, including environmental, archaeological, medical, forensic, and space sciences, chemistry, biochemistry, and control boards for athletics and horse racing.
