Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Micropollutants in urban water are a reality that constitute a major environmental concern. These chemicals can be active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), personal care products (PCPs), pesticides, or microplastics, among others, that come mostly from household sources. The development of techniques to detect and remove them has been the scope of many investigations worldwide, but there is still a long way to go in order for these techniques to become present in the daily routine of wastewater treatment plants. This Special Issue aims to encourage researchers working with these questions to publish their advances in this area and related topics, seeking progress in the field and implementation of practical solutions.
