This special issue of 'Analytical Letters' is devoted to selected papers based on contributions from the 10th Aegean Analytical Chemistry Days (AACD 2016) International Meeting. The first AACD Meeting was held in Izmir-Turkey in 1998 for enhancing the scientific collaboration of analytical chemists from Aegean countries primarily comprising Turkey and Greece, but these series of conferences later evolved into a successful international event covering the entire field of analytical chemistry practiced in almost all countries. Selected papers from most of these conferences were published in the special issues of reputable journals. Specifically in this special edition, the authors have extended their conference proceedings papers and added their latest experimental results. The papers have undergone the standard review process. The AACD 2016 Conference, providing a forum among analytical chemistry researchers from many different countries, was held in Çanakkale, jointly hosted by Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University (ÇOMU) and Istanbul University (IU). AACD 2016 combined invited lectures, parallel oral sessions and poster presentations, altogether comprising 14 invited lectures, 45 contributed oral presentations and 343 posters, and three company presentations. The selected best 40 posters were orally presented for 5 min at the 'flash poster presentation' session. The Conference Organizers are thankful to the AACD Continuation Committee, invited speakers and all presenters, authors and reviewers who were willing to share their expertise with us by submitting/reviewing the valuable contributions to this special issue, and finally to the Chief Editor of 'Analytical Letters' and Taylor & Francis who handled the complete review process.
