Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The main purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight recent advancements and interdisciplinary approaches in monitoring and remediating soil and water contaminants. We aim to showcase cutting-edge technologies, strategies, and methodologies that improve our ability to identify, assess, and mitigate pollution in these critical environments. By bringing together research from environmental science, analytical chemistry, sensor technology, and remediation practices, this Special Issue seeks to enhance our response to environmental threats and promote sustainable management practices. Contributions will be expected to critically engage with existing methodologies, introduce novel approaches, and discuss the implications of new findings in the context of current environmental standards and regulations.
Contributions may include, but are not limited to, research on the following:
- Real-time Pollution Monitoring: Development and application of novel technologies and methodologies for the real-time detection and monitoring of soil and water contaminants.
- In-Field Contamination Measurements: Methodological advancements and practical applications of in-field analytical techniques for the rapid and accurate assessment of contamination levels.
- Contaminated Site Characterization: Advanced techniques and case studies in the thorough assessment and mapping of contaminated sites, focusing on soil and water environments.
- Soil and Water Remediation: Effective strategies, technologies, and methodologies for the remediation of polluted soils and water bodies, including bioremediation, physicochemical treatments, and innovative cleanup technologies.
- Impact on Soil Health: Studies examining the effects of pollutants on soil health and the efficacy of various remediation strategies in restoring soil quality.

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. Water 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 2600 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.
