Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, research activity has been focused on the protection of the environment, which requires a great effort from the scientific world to develop new methodologies that can detect smaller amounts of pollutants, since everything is influencing very important aspects of climate change. This Special Issue will give a very specific vision of the most important polluting analytes on our planet and the most innovative technology for their detection. Particular attention will be paid to bioaerosols and specifically the determination of Covid-19.
Potential topics of this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Sample preparation for environmental analysis: soil and sediments, water and air
- Aerosols
- Bioaerosols
- Trace analysis
- Organic analysis & Inorganic analysis
- Air monitoring, real-time measurement instruments
- Laser in environmental sciences
- Statistical treatment of analytical data
- Internet application to environmental analysis
- Covid-19
- Trends in biological detection
- Environmental protection law
- Specific laboratory experiments
