Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, the environment is becoming fragile due to intensive human activities. We face various challenges from air and water pollution, marine plastic litter pollution, excessive solid waste around cities and villages, climate change, and others. These challenges threaten ecological integrity as well as human health. The present Special Issue focuses on the topic of Environmental Toxicology and Risk Assessment, including the toxicological effects and responses, molecular mechanisms, toxicological pathways, and potential ecological/health risks in organism exposure to various pollutants, particularly these emerging pollutants in all environmental compartments. We welcome submissions in the form of original research articles, short communications, comments, and reviews. We encourage new theories, analytical methods, and risk assessment frameworks. Particularly, novelty is the most important. Our efforts should contribute to understanding the environmental fates of various pollutants and filling in the present knowledge gaps. These works should provide unique perspectives and could be used as a meaningful reference for other researchers and scientists.
