Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental pollutants can originate from manmade activities or can be naturally present in the environment. They might be present in the soil, water, air and can enter the food chain. The population might get exposed to these pollutants via inhalation, contaminated food and water or through skin contact. The presence of these contaminants in the environment might have an important impact on the environment and public health.

In fact, water is an essential resource, which enables life and has a wide range of use in our daily life and industry (agriculture, energy production, public services, etc.). In order to maintain human health, the resilience of ecosystems and the prosperity of the economy, these resource needs to be protected. Thus,  developpement of innovative and sustainable technologies to prevent the release of compounds of emerging concern (CEC) and pathogens to water bodies, coastal areas and marine environment become crucial.

Special Issues on Sustainable Environmental Toxicology Risk Management serves the researchers in all areas of the emergence of chemicals and pathogens in the environment  and give technical solutions not only in dependence on water source and composition but also to consider regional, climatic, infrastructural, and socio-economic settings.

In this special issue, we highly encourage researchers to share their original works, reviews, mini-reviews in the field of Environmental and Health impact and  with emphasis on chemical compounds. This includes:

- Environmental Microbiology/Biobased Energy Sources

- Phytoremediation and Ecosystem Restoration

- Environmental Analyses and Monitoring

- Assessment of Risks and Interactions of Pollutants in the Environment

- Assays of toxicity, endocrine disruption, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, ecosystem impact and health hazard;

- Environmental and public health risk assessment, environmental guidelines, environmental policy for toxicants.

- Conservation Biology and Sustainable Agriculture

- Impact of Chemicals/Pollutants on Human and Animal Health

- Environmental Economics
