Special Issue Information

This special issue will focus on what is known about fate and transport of emerging contaminants in different environmental compartments, bringing out the advances in the removal technologies for these emerging contaminants, at the same time bringing green chemistry process changes to the fore, with a focus on control of their release at source, rather than end-of-the-pipe treatment options. Likewise, the issue will be a collection of the studies carried out on the toxicological aspects of these emerging contaminants, thus projecting the multidisciplinary aspects of this complex subject and making the issue a thorough presentation of the facets of emerging contaminants in the environment. For more information, see http://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/special_issues/emerging_contaminants.

Submission

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. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as 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 refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed Open Access monthly journal published by MDPI.
