Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Molecules, entitled “Application of Liquid Chromatography in the Analysis of Environmental Samples”. Selective and sensitive liquid chromatography (LC)-based analytical methods (HPLC, UPLC, UPLC-MS/MS, UPLC-PDA, and UPLC-Q-TOF) are required for the quantitative analysis of pollutants in environmental samples, and standardized analytical methods are necessary to protect the environment. This Special Issue will cover the development and validation of LC-based analytical and bioanalytical methods for the quantification of pollutants, including prescription and non-prescription drugs, pesticides, antimicrobial agents, and other organic compounds from industrial and biological wastes in water, soil, and aquatic species. We invite reviews, original research articles, and short communications describing analytical methods for the targeted or non-targeted analysis of pollutants in environmental samples. Analytical methods covering a wide range of pollutants, high-throughput methods, improved sample processing, and novel environmental sample handling techniques are welcome.

For more information about the manuscript submission and review process, please see the Instructions for Authors.

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.

Among wildlife species, roe deer stands out as a valuable indicator of environmental pollution due to its ecological significance and role as a game animal. The assessment of poly- and perfluoro substances (PFASs) bioaccumulation is of the utmost importance, relying on the liver and muscles as the main organs of interest. The study concerned the identification of 60 PFAS through a non-target workflow analysis based on HPLC Q-Exactive Orbitrap High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry in a homogeneous group of 18 female roe deer species. The developed strategy allowed us to individuate the 60 PFAS compounds with different levels of confirmation. Apart from seven PFASs identified via analytical standards, the remaining fifty-three features were identified with CL 2 or 3. Moreover, by applying a differential statistic approach, it was possible to distinguish the bioaccumulation patterns in the liver and muscle, identifying 12 PFAS upregulated in the muscle and 20 in the liver. The analysis reveals that specific PFAS compounds present exclusively in either the muscle or in the liver. The study emphasises the specificity of the liver and muscle as significant bioaccumulation sites for PFAS, raising questions about the underlying mechanisms of this process. In conclusion, the presented non-targeted PFAS analysis workflow evidenced promising and reliable results, successfully demonstrating its feasibility in the field of environmental research.
