Analysis of Residues in Environmental Samples

Dear Colleagues,

The state of the environment is a very important issue for ourselves and future generations. Due to human activity, our planet is constantly polluted with many substances that are dangerous to the health of people, animals, and plants, as well as to the state of water and air. Many of these substances are persistent pollutants that decay for years. A very important issue is the development of advanced analytical methods that allow the determination of these substances with very high sensitivity, even for trace levels in environmental samples of various types.

We are pleased to invite you to publish original and review papers in the field of trace pollutant analysis: heavy metals, pesticides, organic, and other persistent contaminants in environmental samples. Articles on new, advanced methods with application to analysis of such substances are also welcome. Furthermore, toxicological assessment of contaminants present in environmental samples to human health is also of interest. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
