Environmental pollution from industrialization, urbanization and agriculture is a serious issue facing all countries during economic development. The Pearl River Delta in Southern China offers a unique case for study and documentation on the ecosystem changes during the fast economic development and urbanization over the past 40 years. This collection of papers from a conference on marine coastal pollution and ecotoxicology held in Guangzhou of China provide the current status on the environmental and ecological processes from the intensive urbanization and development. The research information available from this special issue can be used for both a comparison over time and with other locations and countries, and, in addition, for policy making to serve the long-term sustainable development of the region and the world.
工业化、城市化和农业带来的环境污染是经济发展过程中所有国家面临的一个严重问题。中国南方的珠江三角洲为研究和记录过去 40 年快速经济发展和城市化过程中的生态系统变化提供了一个独特的案例。这些论文来自于在中国广州举行的一次关于海洋沿海污染和生态毒理学的会议，它们提供了当前关于密集城市化和发展带来的环境和生态过程的现状。本特刊中的研究信息可用于与时间和其他地点和国家进行比较，此外，还可用于制定政策，以服务于该地区和世界的长期可持续发展。
