Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the occurrence, migration, transformation, accumulation, and effects of pollutants on wastewater treatment and aquatic systems. This Special Issue provides in-depth and systematic cross-disciplinary research on the release and traceability of environmental pollutants, toxicity assessment, novel detoxification technologies, environmental behaviour, and policy development. The research results can provide theoretical support and a scientific basis for the control and risk assessment of pollutants (nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metals, toxic organic matter, emerging pollutants, etc.). This Special Issue focuses on the assessment of water quality and pollutant behaviour, including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- The transformation of pollutants in degradation units or Earth’s water environment.
- Research on toxicity sensors for toxic and hazardous chemicals.
- Efficient purification processes and mechanisms of highly toxic and hazardous chemicals.
- Community interactions and the genomic expression of microorganisms under the stress of toxic and hazardous chemicals.
- Fate and risk assessment of toxic and hazardous chemicals in environments.

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.
