Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Reducing water pollution essentially requires the application of good practices by users of water and aquatic environments throughout the catchment area, including encouraging less-polluting activities, improving use to reduce the quantity of substances used or discharged, and intercepting pollutant flows.

This Special Issue will be devoted to articles describing preventive and remediation actions in a variety of fields as well as the socio-economic aspects of the environmental protection industry: waste and industrial wastewater, new technologies in sanitation and water pollution, environmental waste, contaminated soil, air pollution, and more.

This Special Issue is aimed primarily at those with a basic and in-depth knowledge of the environment, but it is also a synthesis work of interest to all those working in the field of environmental protection, whether biologists, environmental engineers, agronomists, engineers, or university graduates from a variety of scientific disciplines.

This Special Issue therefore welcomes original research and review articles covering the following topics:

  • Water and aquatic environments;
  • Research on water pollution;
  • New technologies in sanitation and water pollution;
  • Water pollution;
  • Contaminated soil;
  • Air pollution and more.

We hope that this Special Issue, which is currently calling for papers, will provide valuable insights into the possibilities of this powerful technology.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Anthropogenic activities have been causing pollution in the environment and aquaculture activities via the contamination of heavy metals from industrial developments. As a result, this environmental pollution may cause health problems in humans. In this study, water (n = 3) and fish (n = 10–15) samples were evaluated from Topçam Barrage to assess the heavy metal concentrations in the water and tissue samples of fish, Pseudoraspora parva (muscle, liver, kidney, spleen, gonads, and gills). All samples were measured using the ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer) in conjunction with a standard solution (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, Ni, and Pb). The bioaccumulation factor (BCF), target hazard quotient (THQ), and hazard index (HI) were calculated for human health due to fish consumption. A significant degree of heavy metals was found, which followed the order of Zn > Cu > Pb > Ni > Cd > Cr for fish tissues. Heavy metal amounts were found to be mostly higher for Cu and Pb. It was reported that their amounts were around the limit values established by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation) and WHO (World Health Organisation). Further studies are needed on the precautions how to more increase the water quality level. Full article
