Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce the launch of a new Special Issue (SI) on “Impact of Water Pollution on Human Health and Environmental Sustainability” in the journal Sustainability. This SI focuses on cutting-edge research in the field of water pollution, human health, and environmental sustainability. We are now living in the Anthropocene. and numerous classical and emerging pollutants threaten human and environmental health. Water pollution (organic, inorganic, and biological) has become a great concern worldwide. Water is polluted in diversified ways, with deleterious impacts on health and the ecosystem. Thus, this Special Issue will be focusing on highlighting the role of water pollution on human health and environmental sustainability.
The scope includes but is not limited to the following topics:
- Emerging water pollutants;
- Water pollution and health outcomes;
- Salinity and human health;
- Nano-/microplastics in natural water systems and their consequences;
- Safe water sources and environmental sustainability;
- Alternative safe drinking water sources and their influence on SDGs;
- Interactions between mixed pollutants and their combined impacts on environmental health;
- API and antimicrobial drug residues in water systems and their exposure risk assessment;
- Heavy metals and metalloids in the water system and their health risk assessment;
- Wastewater-based epidemiology;
- Nanotoxicology in water systems.
However, any other water-related health and sustainability issues will be welcomed for submission in this Special Issue.
This Special Issue is designed to share cutting-edge research outcomes in the broad field of the water, human health, and environmental sustainability nexus.
