Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the changes in our lifestyles and rapid industrialization, several organic and inorganic pollutants are introduced into our environment, especially in water bodies. These pollutants are known as either emerging pollutants or micropollutants. Most pollutants are toxic in nature even in low concentrations. At the same time, the toxicity of a few pollutants is not clearly known. Treatment of these pollutants from a water medium is a challenging task due to its lower concentrations, as well as its recalcitrant nature. One of the methods to reduce these pollutants in water bodies is the effective treatment of industrial wastewater containing these pollutants.
The present Special Issue focuses on the treatment of emerging and micropollutants in water and wastewater. We call for original research papers with high scientific quality as well as state-of-the-art review articles covering but not limited to the following topics:
- Advanced treatment of water and wastewater containing emerging and micropollutants;
- Fate and transport of pollutants in water media;
- Novel methods to identify the emerging and micropollutants;
- Development of cost-effective methods;
- Development of household drinking water treatment units.
