Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental quality is crucial to our health, economy, lives, and for future generations. However, during the last few years we have been faced with several serious challenges which include but are not limited to climate change, unsustainable consumption and production, as well as various forms of pollution. These challenges are global concerns for the sustainable development of human beings.
This Special Issue is collecting research papers aimed at a wide range of environmental topics: water and wastewater treatment and management, soil degradation and conservation, pollution control, the environmental impact of technologies, air quality and the indoor environment, and advanced environmental materials. Analytical methods developed for the determination of environmental pollutants are also welcome. Papers dealing in the synthesis of adsorbents for the solid-phase extraction of environmental pollutants also fall within the scope of this Special Issue. Contributions describing novel and significant knowledge, scientific results, and advanced applications in the field of environmental sciences and technology are welcome. This Special Issue provides an integrated view of the trends in solving the problems associated with the achievement of sustainability in environmental technology.
The Special Issue will publish experimental and review papers, as well as short communications, discussing recent developments in the remediation of environmental pollutants through physical, chemical, and biological methods. The topics of the papers to be submitted to this Special Issue are defined by the keywords presented below.

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. Sustainability 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 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.
