Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental pollution is a major global concern as it affects human health and ecosystems. Currently, there are many analytical techniques and strategies available for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of various pharmaceuticals, personal care products, heavy metals, organic compounds, micro- and nanoplastics, surfactants, and pathogens in different environments. In recent decades, rapid developments in the field of analytical instrumentation have produced sophisticated tools that can provide unique and in-depth insights into the chemical properties of various environmental matrices. Although there have been many studies on the application of analytical methods in environmental studies, technological advances, especially the combination of methods and parameters, have presented new possibilities to answer questions that until recently could not be addressed due to instrumental limitations. This Special Issue invites original research papers on the latest advances in the development of environmental analytical techniques. It will cover a wide range of topics, including the development of chemosensors, chromatography, and other environmental analytical techniques. In addition, we welcome targeted review articles examining the state of the art, identifying emerging trends, and suggesting future directions for the development of new applications in this field.

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.
