Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The scope of discussion of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, understanding the fate, transport, removal and modeling of traditional and emerging pollutants in water. Every day, a greater concentration of pollutants is found not only in water bodies but also in different compartments such as air and sediments.
Natural and anthropogenic factors can lead to the reduction in clean drinking water supplies. For instance, long droughts, surges in annual rainfall and natural disasters impact the quality and availability of our water sources. On the other hand, the overexploitation of natural resources, the use of pesticides, the presence of chlorinated solvents, the lack of new regulations to address emerging pollutants, processes that are not sustainable for the environment and the lack of or incomplete life cycle analysis are examples of serious human-made threats for the current and coming generations.
At this point, it is relevant to identify, understand and re-evaluate several of the important environmental effects of water pollutants on humans and ecosystems. In addition to developing recommendations, regulations and appropriate methodologies are required to identify, track and remediate concentrations of pollutants in water. This Special Issue will update the state of the art and partially fill the knowledge gap on these contaminants in water.
