Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent and rapid expansion of environmental health risks looks set to continue in line with growing public, government, and media concern about environmental health issues, and there is a scientific need to better understand and explain the occurrence, identification, and risk of environmental pollutants on human health. Risks associated with environmental exposure may be small; however, the exposed population (and hence the attributable risk to the population) can be large. Therefore, new methods and approaches in relation to the occurrence, identification, exposure, and risk assessment of hazardous pollutants are required. Papers addressing this topic are invited to this Special Issue, especially those combining a high academic standard with a practical focus on providing optimal health risk assessment solutions.
Soil, sediment, air (indoor and outdoor), water, and plants are important components of the Earth's surface environment, and their environmental security is most closely related to human survival. Research on the hazardous behavior of hazardous materials in different media in the Earth's supergene environment as well as on the migration and transformation of hazardous substances among different environmental media must be carried out, so as to improve our understanding of the hazards and risks posed by hazardous materials to public health and the environment.
The Special Issue aims to collect high-quality original empirical studies and review papers that explore the occurrence, identification, and risk assessment of hazardous pollutants. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Occurrence and fate of hazardous pollutants.
- Monitoring and detection methods of hazardous pollutants.
- Treatment methods for hazardous pollutants removal.
- Exposure and risk assessment in terms of the environment and human health.
