Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid industrialization, urbanization, and climate change have escalated air, water, soil, and emerging contaminant pollution, threatening ecosystems, public health, and global sustainable development. Traditional end‑of‑pipe control is increasingly insufficient; source prevention, systematic mitigation, and circular‑economy‑driven sustainability have therefore become core priorities for environmental governance worldwide. This Special Issue, entitled Latest Review Papers in Pollution Prevention, Mitigation and Sustainability, welcomes high‑quality, comprehensive, and critical review articles that synthesize state‑of‑the‑art advances, identify unresolved challenges, and propose forward‑looking directions in the field.
We invite reviews covering a wide spectrum of topics: source‑control strategies and cleaner production; advanced mitigation technologies for conventional and emerging pollutants; nature‑based solutions and ecological restoration; circular economy, waste minimization, and resource recovery; policy frameworks, environmental standards, and governance innovations; life‑cycle assessment, sustainability metrics, and decision‑support tools; as well as cross‑sectoral applications in industry, agriculture, urban systems, and energy. Submissions of interdisciplinary, cross‑scale, and solution‑oriented syntheses are particularly encouraged.
By gathering authoritative reviews from global researchers, this Special Issue aims to build an integrated knowledge platform, clarify key scientific and technical bottlenecks, and guide evidence‑based practices for pollution control and sustainable transition. We seek contributions that advance theoretical understanding, inform policy, and support the global agenda of sustainable development, environmental resilience, and planetary health.
