Biological contaminants in water and wastewater are one of the chief health hazards linked with global environmental health. A slew of health and environmental hazards associated with these contaminants are chronic, recalcitrant, and bioaccumulative. Increasing biological contaminants in the water and wastewater calls for a need to assess the risks associated with the contaminants, identify the source, monitor, analyze the toxicity, treat, and incorporate safety standards for improved environmental health. Hence, developing robust analytical and effective treatment technologies is vital to managing these contaminants in water and wastewater. This Research Topic covers a broad range of biological contaminants, including but not limited to viruses, algae, bacteria, antibiotic-resistant genes, parasites, and algal toxins that are known to affect public health and the environment adversely. The focus will be on the source, occurrence, analysis, toxicity, fate, treatment, environmental health impacts, and safety standards of these biological contaminants.
