Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although anthropogenic chemicals benefit everyday life, they are leading to a wide range of environmental changes because of their uncontrolled release to air, soil, and water sources, thereby threatening human health and ecosystems. To resolve this problem, rapid and cost-effective monitorization of these chemicals in the environment is essential. For this purpose, chemical sensors are being considered as an increasingly attractive tool that can play a pivotal role because of their potential to determine low concentrations of different analytes; they can also be easily automated and miniaturized, thus facilitating real-time and in situ analysis.
This Special Issue aims to address recent achievements in the field of portable chemical sensors to detect hazardous compounds in the air, soil or water supplies. We invite both review and original research articles dealing with different types of analytical sensing tools for possible future directions in this emerging field.
We look forward to receiving your contribution.

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. Chemosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
