Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Contaminated natural waters represent a complex ecosystem that contains various substances, including carbon, nitrate, phosphorus, heavy metals, organic pollutants, etc. Contaminants released into rivers or lakes can interact with these substances and thus influence their transportation, transformation, and geochemical cycling. This Special Issue seeks research papers on various aspects of “Environmental Behavior, Effects, and Attenuation of Contaminants in Natural Waters”. We especially encourage the submission of interdisciplinary work and multicountry collaborative research. We also encourage the submission of environment policy or water-policy-related manuscripts that focus on issues related to the behavior, effects, and attenuation of contaminants in natural waters. We welcome original research papers using different study designs, as well as systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
