Environmental Pollution and Related Aquatic Ecotoxicity

Dear Colleagues,

Industry, population growth, agricultural production and urbanization are responsible for large quantities of contaminants being discharged into aquatic environments. This represents a threat not only for the biota living in these polluted aquatic ecosystems, but also for humankind. Maintaining and improving the quality of aquatic ecosystems is one of the most important tasks of global society.

In order to achieve a high level of protection of the aquatic environment against various contaminants, recognizing the types and sources of contaminants as well as their effects on the aquatic environment is crucial.

In this Special Issue, we welcome any original articles and reviews with a focus on environmental pollution and its effects on toxicity in the aquatic environment.

Suggested research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Laboratory (in vitro and/or in vivo) and field studies (acute, sub-chronic, chronic) related to chemical-related toxic effects.
• Bioaccumulation studies of emerging contaminants in vivo and in vitro.
• Mixed contaminants toxicity studies.
• New methods for assessing toxicity.
