Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growth of human activities is translated into rising environmental pollution levels, becoming a global issue for human health. Therefore, developing advanced techniques to monitor and analyze environmental pollutants is highly needed. In this regard, laser-based techniques have become a useful and reliable tool to analyze pollutants in any environmental matrix. Laser-induced plasma spectroscopy (the LIBS technique) allows for identifying and quantifying pollutants in an environmental sample. This Special Issue deals with research on developed advances within the field of laser technology to investigate environmental pollution levels, involving applying novel approaches, quantifying emergent compounds (microplastics), comparison with conventional techniques, a combination of laser-based methodologies, artificial intelligence techniques, and alternative data processing.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
