Special Issue Information

The special issue ‘Sustainability: Environmental Studies and Public Health’ is part of the internationally leading ‘International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health’. I have been invited as a guest editor to oversee the refereeing process and subsequent selection of timely, relevant and high quality papers highlighting particularly novel aspects concerned with sustainability issues in environmental studies.

Contributions that have a significant impact on solving public health problems are particularly encouraged. All types of scientific contributions including technical and critical review papers are eligible for publication as long as they fit within the wider scope of this special issue and are relevant for a world-wide audience.
This special issue should not just be a timely reference source for academics but should particularly be of practical use for medical doctors, environmental scientists and engineers, and civil engineers concerned with public health engineering, environmental protection and sustainability.
