Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue entitled "Organic and Inorganic Contaminants in Environmental Ecosystems: Pathways and Human Exposure" focuses on the impact of contaminants on environmental ecosystems and human health. The presence of organic and inorganic contaminants in environmental ecosystems has become a major concern due to their potential impacts on human health and the environment. The scope of discussion includes but is not limited to, the sources, pathways, and potential health risks associated with exposure to organic and inorganic contaminants in various environmental compartments such as air, water, and sediments. Human exposure to these contaminants can lead to a range of health problems, such as cancer, neurological disorders, and reproductive issues.
This Special Issue will feature a compilation of insightful scientific contributions that are built upon prior research. This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that address these topics and contribute to providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on this topic and will help to identify areas for future research.
