Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental contamination is a growing environmental problem that poses a great risk to human health and the environment. The evolving analysis of environmental media has identified more emerging compounds at much lower concentrations than ever. The topic remains highly debated due to a combination of emerging contaminants representing a new threat to the ecological system across the globe due to the collective poor understanding of their nature, as well as the lack of appropriate and consistent regulations and standards. This developing knowledge increases the need for a better understanding of the level of risks to humans and the environment, as well as highlighting the appropriate management practices. Groundwater remediation is a complex process that normally requires long-term monitoring plans to ensure sustainable remediation practice; therefore, there is a pressing need for more innovative and sustainable groundwater remediation methods to alleviate the uncertainties and complexity, particularly with the developed knowledge around new and emerging contaminants. This Special Issue of International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the state of the art, concerning remediation methods and methods applied to the sustainable management of groundwater contamination. We encourage researchers who investigate sustainable remediation, reviews emerging contaminants, methods of detection and treatment, regulations and standards and case studies at both lab and field scale to submit their state-of-the-art research to this special issue.

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.
