Transport, Persistence, and Toxicity of Pollutants in the Sea

The Special Issue: Transport, Persistence and Toxicity of Pollutants in the Sea, helped to describe the path of pollutants transported to the sea from the mainland and their accumulation process in the marine environment (sediment and organisms). In this volume we have tried to make a contribution to increase the knowledge on the dangerous effects of pollutants that reach the sea and their fate once they entered the marine food chain. Moreover this Special Issue includes two reviews for organic and inorganic contaminants respectively, and will also improve information about the pollutants loading in the sea during all the seasons, due to the contribution of rivers and rainfall, and the relative influence on marine organisms.
