Feature Review Papers in Environmental Sciences

Dear Colleagues,

What aspect of current events is not directly or indirectly related to the environment? All fields of research are affected by and impact the environment, which, from a scientific perspective, connects us and promotes multidisciplinary research focused on sustainable advancements. As a member of the Editorial Board of the Environmental Sciences section, I am pleased to announce this Special Issue entitled ‘Feature Review Papers in Environmental Sciences’. This Special Issue aims to collect systematic and high-quality reviews on a large number of topics, such as the following:

Water quality: Purification, recycling, and reuse monitoring.

Water pollution: Biological, chemical, and physical pollutants.

Air quality: Climate change, global warming, and the simulation and forecast of weather systems.

Air pollution: Desulfurization, NOx removal, particulate matter, Ozone pollution, and VOCs.

Soil: Pollution by human exploitation, pollution by heavy metals and phytoremediation, erosion, pest control, fertilizers, and agricultural technology.

Urban environment: Impact of pollutants on human and animal health, light and noise pollution, building environment, and energy applications.

Ecological environment: Terrestrial and aquatic biology and ecology, natural resource management, regional cleaner production and resource recycling, and new energy utilization.

Others: Any contamination coming from radiation, solid waste treatment, and disposal, as well as from agricultural or industrial environments.

Any relevant aspect of these topics can be dealt with in detail, such as in life cycle assessments, techno-economic evaluations, technological improvements, advanced separation processes, characterizations, modeling and simulations, control processes and instrumentation, materials, conceptual designs, new perspectives, challenges, and so on.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
