Just a quick post here. There is a “special issue of International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (ISSN 1660-4601).” that may be of interest. The issue is on “Emerging Aquatic Microbial and Chemical Contaminants of Concern and Their Impact on Human Health” and it currently has seven papers and apparently more coming.
A brief warning – this is in a journal I know nothing about. However, the guest editors for this special issue have a decent track record so I am going to assume that the papers this issue are at least worth looking at.
The current papers are listed below

Dear Colleagues,
The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is preparing a timely Special Issue focusing on water quality issues and their impact on public health, titled “Emerging Aquatic Microbial and Chemical Contaminants of Concern and Their Impact on Human Health”.
It is well known that water has a profound influence on human health. The microbial and chemical quality of water can result in disastrous outcomes to the communities that are either exposed directly (i.e., drinking water, recreational water, wastewater discharges to waterways) or indirectly (i.e., groundwater and reclaimed water used for irrigation and aquaculture). For water that is microbially or chemically contaminated, the community receiving the water or being exposed indirectly through the consumption of food produced, can lead to outbreaks of water-borne infectious diseases and exposure to emerging contaminants of concern (such as personal care products (PCPs) and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). This may result in serious epidemics to occur or result in chronic exposure to toxins.
To address this important issue, this Special Issue is open to any subject area related to microbial and chemical water quality monitoring and assessment relating to public health risk. This includes all sources of environmental water, such as groundwater, stormwater, recreational water, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, coastal and shellfish harvesting waters. Research in microbial and chemical water quality monitoring in these sources in both developing and developed countries are encouraged, as they can offer a critical guide for policy makers to minimize disease burden. The listed keywords suggest just a few of the many possibilities that are considered in the Special Issue. Full-length research papers are accepted, as are critical Review articles. Please feel free to contact the editors with your proposed title and abstract for consideration prior to submission.
