Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Globally, the soil environment is constantly being attacked by toxic chemicals (heavy metals, pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, microplastics, antibiotics, emerging pollutants, etc), posing a potential threat to human health and ecosystems. In order to further study and understand the removal mechanism of toxic chemicals in soil, this Special Issue of Toxics focuses on the current state of knowledge regarding the biodegradation and remediation of a toxic-chemical-contaminated soil system. Novel research articles and reviews are welcome and may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
(1) The complex migration and transformation process of toxic chemicals in soil;
(2) The dynamic changes in biodiversity, abundance, and distribution of microbial metabolic pathways;
(3) Enzyme systems and related gene expression in the process of pollutant degradation;
(4) Systematic toxicological analysis to explore the environmental and biological effects of toxicity;
(5) Analysis of metabolites produced during biodegradation and remediation and their toxicity.

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. Toxics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
