Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to investigate and understand the sources, fate, transport, and effects of persistent and emerging organic contaminants on natural ecosystems. These contaminants are spread in all environmental compartments at middle and high latitudes due to their worldwide production and consumption related to anthropogenic activities. Most of these organic micropollutants cause adverse effects on organisms at different levels of the trophic web. In this scenario, the investigation of the potential effects and toxicity associated with their occurrence in abiotic and biotic natural compartments can not be negligible. This Special Issue will update the state-of-the-art and partially fill the knowledge gap regarding these contaminants.
