Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The presence of organic pollutants in water sources—including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, and industrial chemicals—has raised significant global concern. Studies continue to detect these contaminants in surface water, groundwater, seawater, wastewater, and even drinking water, posing potential risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health.
Despite their widespread occurrence, a comprehensive understanding of the fate and transport of organic pollutants in aquatic environments is still lacking. This knowledge gap limits the development of effective strategies to mitigate environmental risks and safeguard public health. To help address this gap, this Special Issue invites research on the occurrence, fate, and environmental risk assessment of organic pollutants in water. It will feature original research articles, reviews, and perspectives examining the sources, transport, and transformation of such pollutants across diverse water environments. Contributions will also explore their impacts on aquatic ecosystems and human health, as well as the efficacy of existing treatment technologies and mitigation measures.
By presenting this collection, this Special Issue aims to deepen readers’ understanding of the complexities surrounding organic pollutants in water and to underscore the need for sustained research and innovation in this field. This Special Issue will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working toward effective solutions to manage these pollutants and protect environmental and human health.
