Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern environmental analytical chemistry has been described as an effort to detect an increasing number of exotic and emerging contaminants at trace levels. The acquisition of accurate chemical data in environmental systems and effective management of pollutants are essential for environmental preservation. This Special Issue aims to cover the most significant developments and innovative use of analytical methods to investigate environmentally relevant pollutants. Contributions focusing on the following areas of pollutant analysis are invited:
- Sampling (passive sampling and improving sample representativeness);
- Sample preparation (new developments for enhanced solvent extractions, alternative phases for sorptive extractions, and new configurations and strategies in microextractions);
- Analytical instrumentation (hyphenated techniques using mass spectrometry for organic pollutants, atomic spectrometry for trace metals and metalloids, and sensors and biosensors in field pollution control);
- Environmetric tools (quantitative methods and statistical evaluation).

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
