Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to consolidate recent breakthroughs in methods and technologies addressing the removal and mitigation of contaminants within soil–water environments. The primary scope encompasses analytical, experimental, and theoretical research addressing critical contaminants such as heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, pesticides, microplastics, and emerging environmental pollutants, with particular emphasis on their ecological risks and public health impacts. Contributors are encouraged to submit rigorous original studies, in-depth reviews, and novel methodological insights across chemical, biological, physical, and hybrid remediation strategies.
This Special Issue specifically highlights emerging remediation technologies, including advanced nanomaterial applications, bioremediation and phytoremediation techniques, electrochemical processes, and integrative remediation frameworks. Submissions should provide significant empirical validation, robust theoretical modeling, or comprehensive field studies that illustrate both the capabilities and limitations of novel remediation methodologies.
These studies will serve as a pivotal scholarly reference, advancing knowledge for researchers, environmental managers, policymakers, and practitioners working towards sustainable solutions to soil–water contamination challenges.

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. Toxics 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.
