Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Water is the lifeblood of humanity. However, rapid economic and industrial development and expanding agricultural production have put enormous pressure on global water resources. A wide range of organic, inorganic and biological pollutants have been observed in surface waters and can adversely affect water quality, ecosystems and human health. For instance, water pollution was responsible for 1.4 million premature deaths worldwide in 2019, and 92% of pollution­related deaths occur in low­ and middle­income countries. This Special Issue on water quality, sanitation, and human health aims to provide a unique platform for scientists and engineers to share and present their state-of-the-art research and exchange ideas with the public.

We are pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript to Water for peer review and possible publication in a Special Issue entitled Research on Water Quality, Sanitation and Human Health.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Abstract
Human exposure to p-phenylenediamine derivatives (PPDs) may induce hepatotoxicity and altered glycolipid metabolism. Recent studies have demonstrated the wide presence of PPDs in environmental matrixes. However, until now, the occurrence of PPDs in tap water has not been well known. This study [...] Read more.
Human exposure to p-phenylenediamine derivatives (PPDs) may induce hepatotoxicity and altered glycolipid metabolism. Recent studies have demonstrated the wide presence of PPDs in environmental matrixes. However, until now, the occurrence of PPDs in tap water has not been well known. This study analyzed nine PPDs in tap water collected from Hangzhou and Taizhou, China. The results showed that seven PPDs were detected in tap water samples from Hangzhou (n = 131), with the concentration of total detected PPDs ranging from 0.29 to 7.9 ng/L (mean: 1.6 ng/L). N-(1, 3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD; mean: 0.79 ng/L, <LOD−5.7 ng/L) was the predominant PPD in tap water from Hangzhou, followed by N, N′-di-2-butyl-p-phenylenediamine (44PD; 0.39 ng/L, <LOD−2.2 ng/L) and N-isopropyl-N′-phenyl-1, 4-phenylenediamine (IPPD; 0.31 ng/L, <LOD−1.4 ng/L). Five PPDs were detected in tap water collected from Taizhou (n = 30). N-phenyl-N′-cyclohexyl-p-phenylenediamine (CPPD; mean: 1.0 ng/L, <LOD−4.2 ng/L) was the predominant PPD in tap water from Taizhou, followed by 6PPD (0.93 ng/L, <LOD−2.6 ng/L) and 44PD (0.78 ng/L, <LOD−1.8 ng/L). The mean daily intake (DI) of PPDs for adults and children in Hangzhou was estimated to be 4.9–24 and 6.4–32 pg/kg bw/day, respectively. Meanwhile, the mean DI of PPDs for adults and children living in Taizhou was 11–31 and 14–40 pg/kg bw/day, respectively. To our knowledge, this study provides the first data on the occurrence of PPDs in tap water, which is vital for human exposure risk assessment. Full article
