Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite submissions to the Special Issue Emerging Pollutants in Agroecosystems: Bridging Agriculture and One Health. Agroecosystems worldwide are increasingly exposed to a wide range of emerging contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, pesticide residues, microplastics, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), nanomaterials and antibiotic resistance genes. These pollutants enter agricultural soils, water systems, crops and livestock production chains, raising critical concerns for environmental sustainability, food safety and public health. Guided by the One Health approach, this Special Issue seeks to explore the complex interconnections between environmental contamination, agricultural practices and human and animal health. We welcome interdisciplinary research addressing pollutant sources, fate, transport, bioavailabilities and ecological impacts within agroecosystems. Contributions focusing on antimicrobial resistance development, soil microbial dynamics, crop uptake and food-chain transfer are particularly encouraged. We also invite studies on innovative monitoring tools, risk assessment frameworks, remediation technologies and policy strategies that support sustainable agricultural management and integrated governance. This Special Issue aims to foster collaboration among scientists, policymakers and practitioners to advance knowledge and develop practical solutions that protect ecosystem resilience and promote global health security.
