Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the years, the advancement of modern technologies and urban expansion has resulted in a substantial increase in industrial pollution. As a consequence, sustainable management of soil and groundwater resources has become an issue of concern due to the massive and rapid aggravation of the environment by the discharge of anthropogenic pollutants. Without proper pretreatment, these discharged pollutants enter and accumulate in the soil and groundwater environmental compartments. They impair the sustainable use of these natural resources and may pose significant threats to both the ecological communities and the public. To mitigate such pollution, much effort has been undertaken in the investigation of: (1) applicable technologies for environmental quality improvement; (2) transport and distribution of concerning pollutants in the environment, and (3) risk assessment and management for the sustainable use of environment resources.
Being aware of the importance of land resource sustainability, the journal “Environments” intended to launch a special issue with the main theme of “Soil and Water Pollution Remediation and Ecological Conservation”. Articles related to, but not limited to, the innovative/significant findings in the field of environment pollution, remediation technology, contaminant transport and fate in the environment, ecological monitoring and restoration, risk assessment and management of land resource sustainability are welcome. All the papers submitted to this Special Issue, will receive a rigorous peer review procedure, rapid processing and wide dissemination of research results, developments and applications in the area of environmental protection.
