Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging contaminants can enter the environment through various stages of production, processing, use, consumption, and disposal, and ultimately enter water bodies through various channels. Therefore, water bodies are the main carriers of emerging contaminants in the environment. In recent years, there have been reports of the detection of emerging contaminants in different water bodies such as surface water, groundwater, drinking water, and various types of wastewaters, posing a potential threat to aquatic organisms, ecological safety, and human health. The variety of categories, diverse environmental behaviors, and complex composite effects of emerging contaminants in water bodies have brought new challenges to the safety of the watershed in China.
In this Special Issue on “Characterization and Risk Assessment of Emerging Contaminants in Water”, we aim to focus on monitoring, chemical analysis, ecological and health risks, source apportionment, and pollution prevention of emerging contaminants in water. Authors are welcome to submit original research articles and reviews in the relative fields.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
