Because of their large-scale manufacture and widespread application, several studies related to the toxicological assessment of nanomaterials (NMs) have been conducted over the past decade. Notwithstanding the extensive research on the cytotoxicity of NMs, their possible genotoxicity is of concern due to their increased utilization. As explained in one of the reviews included in this Special Issue, the number and quantity of nanomaterials is ever increasing and affecting the environment where humans, bacteria, and plants live, and their genome come in contact with nanomaterials. Although the topic of genotoxicity induced by nanomaterials is important, we had only five contributions for this Special Issue. A minireview on the methods used to analyze genotoxicity in plants; a review on the direct and indirect genotoxicity of Graphene Family Nanomaterials on DNA; a research paper on the effects of single and repeated applications of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles on the growth and biomass of the wild plant Silene flos-cuculi L. (Caryophyllaceae); another research paper on proteomics of Cadmium Sulfide Quantum Dots in Arabidopsis thaliana wild type and tolerant mutants; a research paper on the capacity of Graphitic Carbon Nitride (C3N4 ) to reduce Cd and As phytotoxicity and accumulation in Rice.

The interaction of metal with its environment that results in its chemical alteration is called metallic corrosion. According to the literature, corrosion is classified to two types: uniform and localized corrosion. Intervention in either in the alloy environment or in the alloy structure can provide the corrosion protection of metallic materials. Furthermore, the interference in the metal alloy environment can be conducted with the utilization of cathodic or anodic protection via the corresponding inhibitors. Therefore, the most common categorization is cathodic, anodic, and mixed-type inhibitors, taking into account which half-reaction they suppress during corrosion phenomena. The majority of the organic inhibitors are of mixed type and perform through chemisorption. In order to update the field of the corrosion protection of metal and metal alloys with the use of organic inhibitors, a Special Issue entitled "Advances in Organic Corrosion Inhibitors and Protective Coatings" is introduced. This book gathers and reviews a collection of ten contributions (nine articles and one review), from authors from Europe, Asia, and Africa, that were accepted for publication in this Special Issue of Applied Sciences.
