Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Attention to the environment and its problems has undergone unprecedented growth in recent years. The merit is mainly due to a re-reading of the relationship between humans and the environment, which has favored a changed attitude towards environmental issues and has opened up new opportunities for scientific reflection. This awareness has led the scientific community to confront the extraordinary development of technological innovation with the environmental issue. A theme emerges from this—that of the relationship between humans and the environment, which has the same age as humans if it is observed from a purely historical–philosophical point of view if we look at the fears for environmental degradation and cultural heritage.
This Special Issue aims to promote an interdisciplinary understanding when it comes to quality of life and environmental protection, integrating the biological, chemical, physical, geological, and engineering sciences.
The main aspects of the research areas mainly include environmental chemistry, environmental pollution control and abatement technology, transport and fate of pollutants in the environment, concentrations and dispersion of waste in air, water and soil, pollution from point sources and not, dispersion of heavy metals and metalloids in the environment, organic compounds in the environment, management of solid and hazardous waste, soil biodegradation and bioremediation of contaminated sites, environmental impact assessment, and ecological and human risk assessment.
