Ecotoxicology of Various Chemicals and Nanoparticles in Aquatic Ecosystems

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to introduce a Special Issue on aquatic toxicology of nanoparticles and other chemicals. In ecotoxicology, aquatic ecosystems represent a reservoir for anthropogenic pollution, and one of the main scientific purposes in this area is to maintain a stable and safe environment despite the constantly rising production of novel synthetic materials.

The current Special Issue aimed to concentrate scientific interest in risk assessment of various synthetic and natural substances and materials, including nanoparticles, which can be harmful to the aquatic environment. We welcome reviews and original research works exploring the toxic action of single and combined pollutants in aquatic species, such as bacteria, microalgae, bivalves, and others. Research works might be devoted to the assessment of the effects of various environmental conditions, such as temperature, salinity, presence of dissolved natural organic matter, formation of the protean or environmental corona, etc. on the toxic action of the studding substance, We are highly welcome the studies of aquatic pollution monitoring and pollution modeling. Another direction is the assessment of environmental fate, transport, and degradation of chemical in aquatic environment.

This Special Issue would collect current knowledge and original research works in nanotoxicology and toxicity of chemicals in aquatic environments. We look forward to receiving your contribution.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Toxics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
