Food Environmental Pollution Monitoring, the Transfer of Hazardous Materials in Soil–Crop Plant Systems and a Risk Assessment of Emerging Contaminants in Food

Dear Colleagues,

Two of the most pressing challenges to human health are environmental pollution and food safety. Environmental pollution (e.g., heavy metals and legacy persistent organic pollutants) has historically harmed food safety, posing serious hazards to human health. Although international and national regulatory agencies have developed control measures and policies for pollutants in the environment and in food, food safety remains threatened by an increasing number of emerging pollutants; Therefore, this Special Issue is committed to presenting the latest scientific developments and important findings in the contamination of the environment, crops and food by emerging environmental pollutants.

This Special Issue welcomes high-quality articles in the field of ‘Food Environmental Pollution Monitoring, the Transfer of Hazardous Materials in Soil–Crop Plant Systems and a Risk Assessment of Emerging Contaminants in Food'.
