Environmental Analysis of Organic Pollutants, 3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, environmental pollution caused by organic pollutants—particularly persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and emerging organic contaminants (EOCs)—has drawn widespread attention and spurred rapidly growing research efforts. The study of organic pollutants remains a hotspot in the field of environmental science. Industrial production and other human activities release large quantities of organic pollutants into the environment, where they become widely distributed across various media, including air, water, sediments, and soil.

Extensive research has been conducted in multiple areas, such as the development of analytical methods, the monitoring of environmental distributions and concentrations, investigations into environmental fate, the identification of novel contaminants, and the non-target screening of organic pollutants. This Special Issue aims to collect original research papers and review articles focused on the aforementioned aspects of environmental organic pollutants.
