Natural and Engineered Phenomena Impacting the Fate, Transport and Treatment of Environmental Contaminants
This special issue belongs to the section “Water Quality and Contamination“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites papers describing studies that explore all aspects of the underlying processes that impact the fate, transport and treatment—both in situ and ex situ—of environmental contaminants. Of interest are physicochemical, physical, and biological processes that influence the behavior of environmental contaminants, with particular interest in systems where complex interactions between mechanisms are important. Papers focused on emerging contaminants (e.g., nanoparticles, PFAS, pharmaceuticals, microplastics) are of particular interest, although papers that describe processes that could apply to any category of contaminants are welcome.

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. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
