Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite the rapidly increasing level of scientific and technological developments, environmental pollution continues to be a major issue of concern for both developed and under-developed countries. However, in order to protect our natural environment and, in particular, to preserve the ability of the environment to adequately support human life, the need for on-going research and monitoring of known and potential environmental pollutants is ever so important. Notably, the research directed towards the assessment of the impact of human activities on the environment is fundamental for developing acceptable processes that are necessary for achieving a true environmental sustainability. Among these are processes and activities that are devoted to the characterization and monitoring of the quality of the environment in its various forms, as well as for better identification of possible risks of harmful effect on human health and the environment. The contributions in this issue will focus on research devoted to gaining a better understanding of the extent of distribution, ecological effects, risks and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants, as well as those directed towards finding solutions to abate these problems.
