Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The agricultural environment is facing a range of issues such as waste pollution, vegetation deterioration, soil and water pollution, and others, as a result of the rapid growth of economies and populations. Heavy metals, pesticides, and other dangerous contaminants, like perfluorinated compounds, nanomaterials, antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes, and microplastics, have recently garnered a great deal of attention as these problems jeopardize human health and the sustainable growth of communities, in addition to upsetting the ecological balance of these areas. It is now essential to support the rehabilitation of the agricultural environment and implement practical improvements. Furthermore, the need for low-carbon environmental remediation solutions has grown dramatically in light of global warming. We have therefore launched a Special Issue of Agronomy on “Agricultural Pollution: Toxicology and Remediation Strategies” based on the aforementioned circumstances, with an emphasis on:
- Toxicological study of agricultural environmental pollutants;
- Research on green and low-carbon remediation technologies for agricultural environmental pollutants;
- Research on reduction or substitution technologies for chemical fertilizers and pesticides;
- Research on the resource utilization of agricultural environmental pollutants.
