Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Development in analytical chemistry aims for high-performance instrumentation, including automation, with consideration for sensitivity, selectivity, and precision. These features will benefit the study of environmental chemistry. Other approaches, not requiring highly skilled personnel, with a limited budget for chemicals and instruments, such as simple sensor devices with sufficient specificity and accuracy, are also in huge demand for environmental monitoring, with on-site analysis to obtain semi-real-time information. The latter may incorporate in everyday information communication technologies (ICTs), offering cost-effective real-time spatial information. Both approaches advance environmental analytical chemistry for the lithosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere.
This Special Issue considers: (1) the advances in environmental analytical chemistry, development in analytical methodologies, instrumentations, chemical analysis as tools for environmental studies; (2) developments in any steps of chemical analysis to promote advances in the investigation of our environment; and (3) the fates of chemical species in our environment (lithosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere). The works will serve various goals of the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs).

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. Molecules 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 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.
