Monitoring and Control of Environmental Hazards
This special issue belongs to the section “Hazards and Sustainability“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue entitled “Monitoring and Control of Environmental Hazards”, which will be dedicated to the ecological and environmental field.
Environmental hazards, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), volatile organic pollutants (VOCs), and toxic metals, have been widely spread in the environment, causing adverse human health effects. However, their occurrence, fate, distribution, and health risks are still not clear enough, and control technologies and measurements need to be urgently developed. The proposed Special Issue aims to publish submissions covering studies on environmental hazards. This may involve the involvement of source emission and apportionment, environmental behavior and simulation, environmental health risk assessment, catalytic disposal technology, and remediation and sustainable management.
In this way, this Special Issue of Sustainability aims to bring together multidisciplinary knowledge and cross-sectoral approaches for the valuable contribution of environmental hazards control.
The topics include but are not limited to the following:
- environmental hazards (persistent organic pollutants, VOCs, toxic metals, etc.);
- source emission and apportionment;
- environmental behavior and simulation;
- environmental health risk assessment;
- catalytic disposal technology;
- remediation and sustainable management

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
