Special Issue on “Insights on Ecotoxicological Effects of Anthropogenic Contaminants in Aquatic Organisms”
Summary
This special issue explores ecotoxicological effects of anthropogenic contaminants in aquatic organisms, covering a range of pollutants including metals and microplastics that have accumulated in aquatic environments since the industrial revolution.
In human history, many key points have characterized technological progress, such as the use of metals, which began in prehistoric times and continues to the present day, with many industrial uses [...].

Ecological disturbances and abundance of anthropogenic pollutants in the aquatic ecosystem: Critical review of impact assessment on the aquatic animals.
This critical review assessed the ecological disturbances caused by anthropogenic pollutants including microplastics in aquatic ecosystems, examining uptake, accumulation, and biological effects across invertebrate and vertebrate species, and identifying gaps in understanding of long-term ecotoxicological impacts at environmentally relevant concentrations.
Sources, Risks, and Remediation Technologies of Pollutants in Aquatic Environments
This editorial introduces a special issue focused on pollutants in aquatic environments, covering their sources, ecological risks, and cleanup technologies. The collection addresses contamination from industrial wastewater, agricultural runoff, and urban sewage, including emerging pollutants like microplastics. The work highlights the need for continued research into effective remediation strategies to protect water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
Impact of Heavy Metals and Pesticide Contamination on Aquatic Environment and Fish Health: Challenges and Bioremediation Strategies
This review examines the impact of heavy metals and pesticide contamination on aquatic environments and fish health, with attention to how microplastics interact with these traditional pollutants. The authors discuss how pollution from industrialization affects fish physiology and disrupts ecosystem balance. The study highlights bioremediation approaches as sustainable strategies for addressing contaminated aquatic environments.
Advancements in Biomonitoring and Remediation Treatments of Pollutants in Aquatic Environments, 2nd Edition
Not relevant to microplastics — this is an editorial introduction to a special journal issue on biomonitoring and bioremediation of aquatic pollutants broadly, covering toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and biological contaminants rather than focusing specifically on microplastics research.
A review: Research progress on microplastic pollutants in aquatic environments
This review summarizes current research on microplastic pollution in aquatic environments, including sources, detection methods, and ecological effects. The study highlights that microplastics can carry heavy metals and organic pollutants, forming complex contaminant combinations that accumulate through the food chain with potentially unpredictable consequences for both aquatic life and human health.
