Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to present a comprehensive exploration of environmental studies with a particular focus on innovative analytical techniques. Emphasizing the need for advanced methodologies, the volume seeks to address three primary objectives. Firstly, it aims to showcase the development of novel methods for the detection of both traditional pollutants and emerging contaminants. These techniques will offer enhanced sensitivity and accuracy in identifying pollutants, thus facilitating more effective environmental monitoring and management strategies. Secondly, the issue delves into the quest for new biomarkers for the assessment of ecosystem health. By identifying and utilizing indicators within various natural matrices, such as hair, feathers, and plants, researchers aim to provide more precise insights into the state of environmental health and the potential risks posed by pollutants. Lastly, this Special Issue highlights the utilization of diverse analytical approaches, including voltammetry, spectroscopy, chromatography, and mass spectrometry, among others, to advance environmental research. By integrating these diverse analytical techniques, this issue endeavors to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and drive innovation in environmental science.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
