Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industrialization and urbanization have rapidly grown, improving economic activity and human convenience since the Industrial Revolution. However, indiscriminate development has resulted in various sources of environmental pollution derived from artificial and accidental emissions, particularly in the aquatic system. Notably, the toxicity and risk assessment of pollution should be further revealed with scientifically objective evidence. Based on this understanding of pollution and toxicity, a sustainable solution should be suggested for the critical point between humankind's development and environmental preservation.
This Special Issue, 'Pollution, Toxicology, and Sustainable Solutions in the Aquatic System,' includes (but is not limited to) a series of these procedures from determining and evaluating to solving pollution, such as the following:
- Recognizing and determining the characteristics of pollution (e.g., spatial and temporal fluctuations, distribution characteristics, extent, fate, and origin);
- Assessing the environmental or human health risks and evaluating the toxicity of pollution;
- Suggesting a sustainable solution for pollution.
This Issue aims to provide insight into managing global environmental pollution in the aquatic system.
Authors can freely discuss pollutant issues following the aim of this Special Issue on aquatic systems, such as drinking water, lakes, agricultural water, groundwater, spring water, rivers, and seawater. Pollution includes adverse effects or toxicity potentials on aquatic organisms and humans (e.g., persistent organic pollutants, PPCPs, microplastics, heavy metals, pesticides, antifouling paints, eutrophic matter, etc.). For this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
