Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental chemistry is one of the disciplines that has developed the most in recent years, allowing knowledge of the possible mechanisms of modification and/or transformation of pollutants in the environment. Applying this knowledge enables the detection of new environmental problems and the search for possible solutions. Activities such as mining, use of fossil fuels, intensified agriculture, industrial waste discharges, and urbanization have been developing without control in many parts of the planet, contributing significantly to the deterioration of ecosystems and human health and causing many sustainability problems. Therefore, a good diagnosis of an environmental problem will serve as support to propose sustainable and viable environmental remediation strategies.
This Special Issue aims to present innovative research on environmental chemistry, as well as the implementation of sustainable technologies for the remediation of environmental matrices and new strategies for the recovery of waste. Topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Environmental monitoring
- Environmental pollution and toxicology
- Environmental pollution and climate change
- Sustainable use of natural resources
- Sustainability in environmental remediation
- Innovations in water and wastewater treatment
- Valuation of agro-industrial waste
- Application of advanced oxidation processes degradation of organic compounds
- Soil remediation

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. Sustainability 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.
