Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
This Special Issue is focused on the origins of pollutants and their effects on human health and ecological systems, aiming to provide an understanding of pollutant ecotoxicology for scientists, policymakers, and individuals concerned about the adverse effects of pollution and the measures necessary to mitigate this impact. We are pleased to invite you to submit your valuable contributions to our journal. The scope of this journal encompasses a broad range of topics, focusing primarily on the sources of toxic pollutants, toxic effects on organisms, and impacts on human health, including identifying the sources and distribution of toxic pollutants, chemical speciation and transformations, and their persistence and mechanisms in the environment; the construction of cell or animal models to study the molecular mechanisms of pollutant toxicology and risk assessment, big data methods such as machine learning to build models for identifying and evaluating toxicity and risk, and mechanisms that pollutants exert toxicity in the environment; the impact and mechanisms of pollutants on growth and metabolism. We also invite authors to address pollutant treatment and removal. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
