Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil pollution is a global challenge that has the characteristics of concealment, hysteresis and accumulation. Soil pollution is mostly derived from human activities such as random disposal of waste, sewage irrigation, abuse of pesticides and fertilizers, mining and ore processing. Bioremediation is an ecological technology for the restoration of polluted soil. Bioremediation technology includes many cost-effective and environmentally friendly plant- and microbe-assisted technologies, which are used to restore the health and productivity of soil in situ, mitigate the environmental impact of damaged soil, and recover economically valuable metals. Research progress in this field requires a deeper understanding of substrate-, plant- and microbe-related factors, which control the solubility, bioavailability, removal and recovery of soil pollutants. This Special Issue aims to bring together contributions of all aspects of bioremediation research including (but not limited to) laboratory and field research related to (i) green, safe and environmentally friendly bioremediation technologies; (ii) comprehensive repair technology combining multiple methods; and (iii) the final recovery of raw materials from plant/microbe biomass or leachates.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2500 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.
