Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to all research on polluted waters using physico-chemical methods and modern analysis/detection tools. Risks of illness among the population or animals as well as contamination of the soil and water can occur if certain regulations regarding the treatment of wastewater are violated intentionally or accidentally. At the same time, the dumping of waste in areas not designed for this purpose, such as near rivers, can lead to undesirable effects on the environment. It is important for the scientific world to intervene where such deviations occur through complex and complementary investigations of measurement and detection to raise the alarm and, if possible, work together with governmental partners (those having decision and control power) to find a remedy for the problems encountered.
The planet and the following generations will benefit from the present innovations, as well as from the involvement of all socio-economic actors in developing and validating new methods for determining the degree of pollution. Additionally, remedial solutions are needed where possible if the pollution exceeds the allowed limits!

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
