Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pollutants in the environment may have negative effects on organisms, including humans. The current focus of research is shifting from traditional to emerging pollutants. Emerging pollutants include micro- and nano-plastics, personal care products, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, persistent organic pollutants, nanomaterials, currently used pesticides, and pharmaceuticals, as well as their degradation or metabolite products. Their presence in the environment is not necessarily new, but the majority of them were previously unknown or not recognized as remarkable risks for organisms until recently. Thus, it is critical to investigate their toxicity and solution.
Recently, emerging pollutants in environments have received increased attention. In view of that, the editors of this Special Issue encourage researchers to obtain interesting results on this topic and to submit high-quality manuscripts, including review papers, regular research articles, and communications.
Papers on the recent development and advancement on all relevant topics are welcome, such as toxic effects, molecular mechanism, public health, and removal/degradation technologies, including biological, physical, chemical, and electrochemical technologies.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 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 2500 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.
