Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental pollutants can originate from manmade activities or can be naturally present in the environment. They might be present in the soil, water, air and can enter the food chain. The population might get exposed to these pollutants via inhalation, contaminated food and water or through skin contact. The presence of these contaminants in the environment might have an important impact on the environment and public health.
In fact, water is an essential resource, which enables life and has a wide range of use in our daily life and industry (agriculture, energy production, public services, etc.). In order to maintain human health, the resilience of ecosystems and the prosperity of the economy, these resource needs to be protected. Thus, developpement of innovative and sustainable technologies to prevent the release of compounds of emerging concern (CEC) and pathogens to water bodies, coastal areas and marine environment become crucial.
Special Issues on Sustainable Environmental Toxicology Risk Management serves the researchers in all areas of the emergence of chemicals and pathogens in the environment and give technical solutions not only in dependence on water source and composition but also to consider regional, climatic, infrastructural, and socio-economic settings.
In this special issue, we highly encourage researchers to share their original works, reviews, mini-reviews in the field of Environmental and Health impact and with emphasis on chemical compounds. This includes:
- Environmental Microbiology/Biobased Energy Sources
- Phytoremediation and Ecosystem Restoration
- Environmental Analyses and Monitoring
- Assessment of Risks and Interactions of Pollutants in the Environment
- Assays of toxicity, endocrine disruption, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, ecosystem impact and health hazard;
- Environmental and public health risk assessment, environmental guidelines, environmental policy for toxicants.
- Conservation Biology and Sustainable Agriculture
- Impact of Chemicals/Pollutants on Human and Animal Health
- Environmental Economics

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be 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 1900 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.
