Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced techniques for the chemical analysis and removal of environmental pollutants are playing an increasingly important role in addressing the growing pressures on natural systems and public health. This field combines modern analytical approaches with innovative remediation strategies to better understand, monitor, and reduce the presence of contaminants in environment (air, water, and soil).
The key focus is to deal with the complexity of real environmental samples, the appearance of new and emerging contaminants, and the need to meet more demanding regulatory standards. In this context, there is continuous progress in the development of cost-effective highly sensitive and selective analytical tools.
Alongside analytical developments, significant attention is given to improved pollutant removal approaches. These include different methods, i.e., advanced oxidation processes, membrane-based separations, adsorption using tailored functional materials, and eco- friendly, nature-based solutions. These strategies aim not only to reduce more effectively the level of contaminants but also to support resource recovery and more sustainable environment management.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
