Special Issue Introduction

As urbanization and industrialization continue to progress, the management and disposal of sludge generated by wastewater treatment plants have become increasingly prominent issues. The sludge may contain various emerging contaminants, posing potential threats to both the environment and human health. Therefore, an in-depth study of the nature, sources, migration, transformation, and impacts of emerging contaminants in sludge is of utmost importance.

To explore this issue comprehensively, we have specially planned this Special Issue, aiming to promote research on emerging contaminants in sludge and provide a platform for scholars and researchers in related fields to exchange ideas. This Special Issue will cover various aspects, spanning from laboratory research to practical applications, assembling expertise from diverse backgrounds to discuss the latest research advances in emerging contaminants in sludge.

1. Advanced Techniques in Detecting and Monitoring Emerging Contaminants in Sludge;
2. Distribution and Enrichment Characteristics of Emerging Contaminants in Sludge;
3. Impact of Emerging Contaminants on Sludge Treatment and Disposal;
4. Effect of Sludge Treatment Technologies on the Removal of Emerging Contaminants;
5. Accumulation of Emerging Contaminants in Soil through Sludge and their Impact on Plants;
6. Innovation in New technologies for Controlling Emerging Contaminants in Sludge;
7. Regulations and Policies on the Management of Emerging Contaminants in Sludge;
8. Future Research Directions and Challenges: Frontiers in the Study of Emerging Contaminants in Sludge;
  etc.
