Environmental Detection, Migration, Transformation, Toxicology and Risk of Emerging Pollutants

Dear Colleagues,

Emerging pollutants are a type of pollutant that receive less attention in conventional environmental management and are widely distributed in various environmental media, including water, soil, and atmosphere. There are various types of new pollutants, including microplastics, antibiotics, some endocrine disruptors, and some persistent organic pollutants. Their environmental effects are complex, and the hazards and risks they pose to ecosystems and human health are not yet clear, posing challenges to environmental management and decision making. This Special Issue solicits articles focused on scientific issues such as the migration, transformation, toxicological effects, and environmental risks of emerging pollutants in the environment. We welcome original research, new methods and protocols, and reviews that evaluate the environmental migration, transformation, methodology, and risk of emerging pollutants. The research scope for this Special Issues revolves around emerging pollutants, including, but not limited to, the development of detection and analysis methods, environmental exposure, environmental fate, toxic effects and mechanisms, ecological and health risks, as well as environmental governance and removal.
