Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A significant number of new chemicals, such as EDCs, PFASs, Roxarsone, engineering nanoparticles and microplastics, are present in the water-soil system and brings challenges for water and soil ecological environment protection. Recognizing the environmental processes for the new chemicals is fundamental for determining their fate and for predicting the associated risks. These recognitions benefit the design of efficient remediation strategies for contaminated water and soil and can ease challenges. The papers of this Special Issue will mainly focus on the environmental processes influencing fate and control strategies for new chemicals in water-soil systems from laboratorities to field scales. Other related topics such as quantitative modelling of environmental processes and application and mechanism studies of adsorbent nanomaterials for the effective removal or degradation of new chemicals will also be relevant for this Special Issue.

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.
