Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue concerning ecological, atmospheric, and hydrological geochemistry is calling for contributions of global scientists involving in the realm. With the rapid development of economy and societies, we are facing serious challenges arising from overexploitation and overuse of Earth’s precious resources.The majority of people only pay attention to qualities of their breathing air, drinking water, and living circumstances. However, as scientists, we shoulder the responsibility to explain the causes, interaction processes, and final effects related to human health and ecological systems for artificial or natural hazardmaterials. You may have read the news related to redness on some Antarctic glaciers recently—the main cause of this is the reviving of dormant bacteria with enhanced environmental temperatures. Some developing countries are not capable of dealing with the deterioration of water sources, droughts, soil, erosion, etc., caused by overgrowth of the population, industrialization, etc. Your paper(s) may give insight into the critical scientific puzzles and provide feasible suggestions for related policy makers. Furthermore, common readers may benefit from your paper(s) and adjust their behaviors to ensure better quality of environments.
