Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquatic ecosystems are the most diverse and important ecosystems. With the development of human society, numerous pollutants have been manufactured and released into the water environment, which could pose potential risks to aquatic ecosystems. Conducting environmental risk assessments regarding the aquatic ecosystem could avoid the adverse effects on water and prevent the irreversible damage to the aquatic ecosystems caused by human activity.
The Special Issue entitled "Environmental Risk Assessment of Aquatic Ecosystem" aims to gather the latest research, innovations, and advances in risk assessment in the aquatic environment. We welcome the submission of papers that attend to various topics of interest, including the field investigation of the occurrence and environmental behavior of pollutants in the aquatic environment, toxicokinetic and toxicology studies regarding contaminants on the aquatic species, and the potential ecological risk brought by the change in environmental factors. Additionally, submissions that consider the novel risk assessment method based on the existing database and environmental and economic impacts on the aquatic ecosystems are also welcomed.
This Special Issue will provide valuable insights into the risk assessment of aquatic ecosystems, which is a critical environmental challenge many countries worldwide face. This Issue also matches well with the UNEP Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good health and well-being, 6: Clean water and sanitation, and 14: Life below water. We invite authors to submit contributions that will enhance our understanding of the current potential risks in aquatic ecosystems.
