Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern environmental analytical chemistry must increasingly face the demand of analytical methods which are not only accurate, precise, and robust, but also characterized by high analytical throughput. In this context, in recent years, various analytical approaches have been developed for the rapid determination of organic micropollutants in environmental samples, also by automated procedures (e.g., QuEChERS extractions, solid phase microextraction, and online solid phase extraction coupled with gas and/or liquid chromatography).
This Special Issue aims at collecting contributions on the most recent advances in the field of separation science applied to the analysis of organic micropollutants in environmental samples. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the development and optimization of extraction, clean-up, and instrumental analysis methods for environmental samples, as well as application of advanced chemometrics tools for method set-up. Analytical methods devoted to the analysis of micropollutants in food samples are also welcome since they are informative on human exposure to environmental contamination.
This Special Issue aims to provide readers with a selection of papers that represent the current state of the art of analytical methods devoted to the determination of organic micropollutants in environmental matrices.

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. Separations 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 2600 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.
