Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims at environmental chemistry understood as the scientific study of a chemical or biochemical process that occurs in nature. We will focus on the sources, reactions, transport, effects, and fates of chemical compounds in atmospheric, soil, and water environments in addition to considering how these are affected by biological and human activities. Given that environmental chemistry is interdisciplinary—relying on analytical chemistry and being related to environmental sciences—we will integrate these aspects. Since our subject aims at understanding how the uncontaminated environment works, which chemicals are available naturally, and in what concentrations they have particular effects, and we will also focus on these aspects of the abovementioned issues. Added to this are the effects humans have as well as newly emerging contaminants. We will further focus on the integration of several environmental sciences that are relevant to the mechanisms of chemical speciation and the environmental fates of toxic compounds. This holds particularly true for contaminants that are present in nature at elevated levels or that would not be there without human activity. Similarly to environmental chemistry, ecotoxicology is also multidisciplinary—integrating toxicology and ecology. Accordingly, we aim to address all other environmental factors that allow revealing and predicting the effects of pollutants at population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere levels.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
