Transformation Process and Toxic Effects of Pollutants in Agricultural Environment

This Special Issue focuses on the transfer process and influence mechanisms of agricultural environment pollutants in the water-soil-crop system and explores the toxicity changes in heavy metals, microplastics, pesticides, and perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the soil during their transfer in agricultural systems. It reports on leaf surface control technology and the way it is used to reduce excessive heavy metal concentrations in rice, along with the screening effect of heavy metals on soil microbe species. It introduces a machine learning model designed to reveal the synergistic effects of microplastics to enhance their toxicity and explains the mechanism by which microplastics affect the bioavailability of cadmium and lead in the soil. In summary, the articles published in this Special Issue cover the behavior and processes of pollutants in the agricultural environment; the diffusion mechanisms of pollutants; the factors affecting the distribution, migration, and transformation processes in the soil-crop system; and health risk assessments in the agricultural environment.
