Chemical Analysis of Pollutant in the Environment

Dear Colleagues,

The level of environmental pollutants is constantly growing, requiring the development of new methods for their analysis or the optimization of existing ones. Concern for human health and the natural environment has led to the search for newer, more advanced, and sensitive methods of analyzing chemical pollutants.

We invite you to submit scientific articles on the chemical analysis of environmental contaminants: both chemical and biological pollutants of air, water, soil, bees, food, etc. Review articles comparing existing analytical methods and validation parameters are also welcome.

Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Chemical analysis of pollutants: heavy metals, pesticides, nano- and microplastic, medicines, organic pollutants, PFAS, PAHs, etc.
• Different methods of sample preparation;
• Advanced analytical instrumental methods;
• Validation data;
• Comparison of methods.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
