Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The industrial sector is a major source of chemical waste and gas emissions, posing a challenge to the creation of a sustainable world. Industries, including, but not limited to, extraction, refining, mining, process control, and automotives, use numerous chemicals for their operation and emit a vast variety of chemicals that can be explosive, toxic, and hazardous . Detectors for gases, chemical vapors, pH, corrosion, and many other chemicals combined with advanced data analytics can be used to accurately monitor and control the manufacturing processes, chemical waste, and gas emissions of critical industrial systems. These screening devices help to improve the safety, reliability, and operation efficiency of industrial systems, aiding in meeting global environmental and sustainability goals. Chemical sensors are also becoming increasingly important in monitoring air pollution levels in various applications, including in smart buildings and cities.
There have been significant technological advances in the development of chemical sensors for industrial and environmental applications in the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and Industry 4.0. This Special Issue covers all types of chemical sensors, including optical, electrical, acoustic, magnetic, thermal, and electrochemical modality-based detection relevant to industrial systems and the environment. This Special Issue covers original research articles based on experimental demonstration, theory and modeling, algorithms, and data analytics, or a combination thereof, as well as review articles.

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. Sensors 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.
