Monitor and Degradation of Emerging Pollutants in Water

Dear Colleagues,

As many of you are aware, we are increasingly surrounded by organic compounds present in the products we use every day. Many of these substances are routinely detected in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), including pharmaceuticals and personal care products, industrial chemicals such as plasticizers, flame retardants, tire‑derived compounds, pesticides, and others. Although these compounds typically occur at very low concentrations, they may still exert significant adverse effects.

This Special Issue invites contributions focused on the monitoring of emerging pollutants not only in wastewater, but also in runoff, river water, groundwater, and seawater, with the aim of improving our understanding of their sources, occurrence, fate, and concentration levels. We also welcome studies employing non‑target analysis and the tentative identification of novel pollutants in the above‑mentioned matrices.
