Risk Assessment of Pollutants in the Environment and Their Impact on Human Health

Dear Colleagues,

One of the great challenges for us and for future generations is to predict the impact of environmental pollutants on human health. Continuous industrial and technological innovation, with the concomitant increase in pollutant levels, has, directly or indirectly, made the monitoring of environmental pollutants essential in many work activities, both in terms of air and, especially, water treatment where, in addition to pathogens, toxic substances are often found.

Health issues related to exposure to environmental pollutants are as varied as the pollutants themselves.

This Special Issue seeks to open a wide window enabling the publication of new research on pollutant prevention, workplace management, and worker health monitoring.

This Special Issue encourages the submission of articles by researchers and faculty members from multiple disciplines that integrate industrial and medical health expertise.

This is an international and interdisciplinary Special Issue covering all aspects of risk assessment pertaining to pollutants in the environment and their impact on human health and aims to bring about discussion, not only of current global issues but also the means and proposals aiming to improve its management.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Emanuele Cannizzaro
Guest Editor
