Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite the submission of original research articles and reviews for an upcoming publication in a leading journal focused on environmental analytical chemistry. This Special Issue aims to address cutting-edge advancements, methodologies, and applied research in analytical chemistry with a direct emphasis on understanding environmental pollutants. We welcome manuscripts that contribute to current and emerging analytical techniques, improving detection and quantification methods, assessing chemical exposure, or evaluating environmental pollution.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel analytical methods for detecting environmental contaminants in multimedia samples (air, soil, water, etc.).
- Improvised methods for analyzing environmental hazardous chemicals (PAHs, POPs, heavy metals, and other emerging contaminants).
- Technique development for detection and measurement of environmental pollutants (atmospheric VOCs, sub-micron aerosols, atmospheric micro- and nano-plastics, etc.).
- New methods that introduce advanced chemometrics (chemical analysis and machine learning).
- Reviews of traditional analytical methods and suggestions of areas that require further development.
We look forward to your valuable contributions, which will enrich this publication with innovative research and provide a foundation for advancing our understanding of the intersections between analytical chemistry and human health.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
