Advances in Environmental Behaviors of Persistent Contaminants: Fate, Distribution, Risk, and Challenges

Dear Colleagues,

Persistent contaminants refer to a group of recalcitrant, toxic, and bioaccumulable pollutants, which are detrimental to human health after long-term exposure. With increasing public awareness and advancing analytical technologies, a growing number of persistent contaminants have been identified and added to the list. The environmental behaviors of persistent contaminants have been considered a global issue. As detected in soil, water, and air worldwide, persistent contaminants keep posing serious threats not only to the ecosystem, but also to human health. To achieve a comprehensive environmental risk assessment and develop treatment technologies, advancing knowledge of the occurrence, fate, impact, and challenge of persistent contaminants is in urgent need.
