Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Micropollutants are pollutants with low concentration levels and various species, including aliphatic hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, organic pesticides, and metal–organic compounds, etc. Disinfection byproducts are substances produced by the reaction of disinfectants with organic matter, including trihalomethanes, halogenated acetic acids, halogenated acetonitriles, etc. Currently, most disinfection byproducts remain unknown. However, micropollutants and disinfection byproducts in drinking water cannot be completely removed during water treatment and damage human health after ingestion, which has aroused widespread concern. This Special Issue will focus on highlighting timely research studies addressing micropollutants and disinfection byproducts in drinking water, as well as their exposure levels and risks in humans. Authors are invited to submit original research papers, reviews, and short communications.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Identification and analysis of new micropollutants and disinfection byproducts;
- Traceability of micropollutants and identification of disinfection byproduct precursors;
- Transformation of micropollutants and disinfection byproducts during water treatment;
- Control and removal technologies of micropollutants and disinfection byproducts;
- Exposure levels and risks of micropollutants and disinfection byproducts in humans;
- Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity caused by micropollutants and disinfection byproducts.

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. Toxics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
