Abstract:
The Virtual Special Issue (VSI) "Antibiotics and Heavy Metals in the Environment: Facing the Challenge" received more than 100 submissions from research teams around the world. Finally, more than 50 papers were accepted and published. These very interesting research papers allow going ahead in the knowledge of different aspects which determine the fate of antibiotics and heavy metals in the environmental. The success of the VSI, as well as reports from scientific databases, indicate that this field of research is clearly growing, which is expected to continue, especially considering emerging pollutants as a whole.
