Recent Advances in Environmental Pollution Control and Environmental Impact Assessment

Dear Colleagues,

The basis of modern environmental sciences is knowledge of the size and extent of pollution. Without the reliable determination of these quantities, it is practically impossible to carry out any effective actions to improve the state of the environment. Industrial and agricultural development have caused the degradation and disintegration of the environment on a global scale. Soil (mainly heavy metals, radioactive nuclides, and pesticides), water, and air are polluted. The effects of high levels of human intervention in the environment may be irreversible and threaten biological life, including human health.

This Special Issue on “Recent Advances in Environmental pollution control and Environmental Impact Assessment” will collect high-quality research addressing challenges in the broad area of environmental pollution and assessing the impact of xenobiotics on different elements of the environment. Topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Environmental fate studies including biodegradation and bioaccumulation of contaminants;
• Distribution studies of pollutants in different environmental media;
• Remediation (including phytoremediation) employing novel strategies, findings, or interpretations;
• Adverse effects of pollutants in environmental, aquatic and terrestrial, organisms;
• Soil and water chemistry focused on interaction, degradation and speciation aspects of environmental contaminants;
• Environmental impact of agriculture;
• Impact of pollutants on human and animal health;
• Environmental microbiology.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
