Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue "Metabolomics Insights into Environmental Pollution Unraveling Metabolic Responses to Contaminants" is a cutting-edge collection of research focused on the intersection of environmental pollution and metabolomics. The rationale behind this Issue is to delve into the metabolic responses triggered by environmental contaminants, offering a comprehensive view of their impact on human and ecological health.
Focus: The Issue zeros in on the identification of biomarkers for contaminant exposure and the elucidation of toxicity mechanisms. It aims to uncover the metabolic fingerprints left by pollutants, which can serve as indicators of environmental stress and potential health risks.
Scope: Spanning from cellular to organismal levels, the scope of this Issue is broad, encompassing various biological matrices and pollution. It encourages interdisciplinary research that can provide a holistic understanding of how different organisms respond metabolically to pollution.
Purpose: The ultimate goal is to foster innovative strategies in pollution detection, remediation, and therapeutic interventions. By bringing together contributions from diverse fields such as toxicology, environmental science, molecular biology, and public health, the Issue aspires to be a catalyst for developing effective mitigation strategies and enhancing our environment's health.
This Special Issue serves as a beacon for researchers, providing a dedicated platform to showcase their work and collaborate on significant issues related to environmental pollution and its metabolic ramifications. It offers an opportunity to publish in a targeted, timely, and insightful collection that will be well received by the scientific community.

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. Metabolites 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 2700 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.
