Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental remediation deals with the removal of contaminants and/or prevention of pollution from environmental media, such as soil, groundwater, sediment, and surface water. The development of environmental remediation technologies is a growing research area, which aims to ease public health concerns, improve ecology, and facilitate the redevelopment of contaminated sites.
In situ and ex situ remediation technologies have been developed to rectify contaminated sites, utilizing various tools and devices through physical, chemical, biological, electrical, and thermal processes to restrain, remove, extract, and minimize the effects of contamination. Therefore, the objective of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers worldwide to disseminate recent scientific developments and technical solutions in the field of environmental remediation. Authors are invited to submit original research and review articles to provide critical insights into technology development in the given areas. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following environmental remediation technologies (see the keywords listed below).
I hope this SI will open up new insights and opportunities in the field of environmental remediation now and for the future.

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. Water 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 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.
