Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of civilization and lifestyle changes increased the production and consumption of various chemical compounds. All chemical substances or their decomposition products and by-products of various processes may be released into the environment, including natural waters. Most environmental pollutants have limited environmental persistence, but continuous introduction causes their permanent presence in natural waters. Low concentrations make pollutants unlikely to cause acute toxicity, but many studies have proven that chronic exposure can cause damage to biological components of ecosystems.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest achievements in all aspects related to research on the presence of pollutants in the environment, their harmful effects on organisms and the development of technologies that limit their introduction into the environment.
