Special Issues, Collections and Topics in MDPI journals
Water is very important for survival. We need clean water for drinking, irrigation, and many other purposes, but it is often polluted by chemicals such as heavy metals, lead, pesticides, and hydrocarbon, which cause hormonal and reproductive problems and damage the nervous system, liver, and kidney. Water pollution and its impact on human health have been a topic of concern worldwide since the 20th century. Many studies have been conducted to identify the link between water pollution and human health, while other research has focused on the treatments and technology for the removal of or reduction in the effects of water pollution on the human health. The objective of this Special Issue is to demonstrate the current status and new innovations in water pollution and its impact on human health. The topics include but are not limited to water pollution status, new types of pollutants, new pollution mechanisms, new evaluation methods, effect pathways, toxicity, human health risks, etc.
