Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the utility of chemicals to the activity of humans, a vast range of chemicals have been developed and produced. However, despite their utility, plenty of research has shown that some hazardous chemicals can cause serious harm to the integrity of the water and soil ecosystem. In particular, the chemicals that significantly accumulate in organisms are regarded as a serious threat to the aquatic and soil ecosystem. Thus, to protect the integrity of the ecosystem, the identification and analysis of the effects of hazardous chemicals are required.
In this context, this Special Issue welcomes contributions that enhance our understanding of hazardous chemicals and their impact upon the ecosystem and organisms living in water and soil.
The scope of this Special Issue involves risk and/or effects analyses of potential hazardous chemicals in diverse biological levels and ecosystems, analyses of the toxicity mechanism, bioaccumulation studies of hazardous chemicals, and the correlation between chemical bioaccumulation and chemical toxicity.
