Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of a Special Issue on “Water Pollution and Risk Assessment” in Sustainability (IF: 3.889), with the aim of contributing to the publication of high-quality research on all of the main aspects of water pollution investigation and human health assessment.
With the increase in human interference with nature, environmental pollution is posing serious challenges, especially in water environments. At present, pollutants are emerging in the global marine environment, which not only pose potential hazards to aquatic organisms but also indirectly affect human health. What is more, the assessment of the interaction between pollutants and compound biological effects also deserves high priority. Increasing attention to these sectors has led to a better understanding of the challenges posed by water pollution and the need to assess its impact on human health.
This Special Issue (SI) will focus on the issues associated with the emergence of current water pollutants, further health risk assessment, and corresponding solutions associated with the alleviation of water pollution. Submissions of original and high-quality research on all relevant branches are strongly encouraged. Topics of interest for this SI include but are not limited to:
- Investigation of water pollution
- Health risk assessment of the effect of pollutants on organisms
- Interaction between/among pollutants
- Compound biological effects of pollutants on organisms
- Corresponding solutions associated with the alleviation of water pollution
- Data analysis and modeling for water pollution
