About this Research Topic
This Research Topic invites researchers, veterinarians, and other wildlife professionals to share significant findings related to the impact of human pollution in different wild species from every habitat.
At the end, we aim to provide a collection of relevant papers that will shed light on our understanding of which ecosystems, species or substances should be prioritized for continuous monitoring or mitigation strategies, and on what actions are needed to avoid the damaging consequences of environmental pollution caused by humans.
Studies regarding the effects of distinct xenobiotics are encouraged, as well as of any type of hazardous substances or pollution types including (but not limited to):
- pesticides
- metals
- plastics and microplastics
- fertilizers
- drugs (e.g. antibiotics, NSAID's, etc.)
- toxic gases
- radiation (e.g. radioactive substances)
- noise or light pollution.
Authors are encouraged to submit Original Research articles, Case Reports, General Commentaries, Hypothesis & Theory, Reviews or Mini Reviews regarding the subject. “One Health” approaches are also welcome.
