Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, the concentrations of inorganic and organic contaminants in soil and groundwater are increasing, causing severe pollution and becoming a concern to public health and the surrounding environment. Various methods have been developed for soil and groundwater remediation. In this Special Issue, we invite high-quality research studies focused on physical, chemical and biological technologies and novel materials for the remediation of soil and groundwater contaminated by heavy metals, chlorinated organic solvents, inorganic ions, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, emerging micropollutants and their combinations, etc., as well as systematic studies on the applications of these technologies in pilot studies or real remedial projects. In addition, to fully understand the characteristics of pollutants, research papers related to the fate and transport of pollutants in soil and groundwater systems, and their health and/or ecological risk assessment are also welcome.
