Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ionic liquids are chemical compounds that, thanks to their diverse properties and virtually unlimited synthesis possibilities, have found wide application in various industries. These compounds have been of great interest for many years. Research is still being conducted on further possibilities of using this type of compound. However, it was soon discovered that many of these compounds are toxic to various elements of the natural environment, including fish, fungi, microorganisms, or plants. Therefore, it is extremely important to thoroughly study and determine the impact of individual ILs on various elements of the natural environment.
Among the huge amount of ILs, herbicidal ionic liquids (HILs) deserve attention. HILs can be used as herbicides and as growth regulators, and their properties suggest that they can be an alternative to currently used herbicides. This Special Issue will focus on ionic liquids and their impact on the environment.

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.
