Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce a new Special Issue, “Research on Chemical Pollutants and Sustainable Environment Management”, of Sustainability.
The dynamic development of the world economy, combined with the rapid growth of the population, has had a negative impact on the natural environment for many years. The deteriorating condition of the environment observed in practically all countries requires the development of appropriate control systems. An important element of environmental control and management is monitoring; its purpose is to assess the condition and forecast the direction of changes occurring in the environment. The monitoring system includes collecting and processing data, preparing reports, and making data available to administrations, as well as to citizens. Monitoring is a tool in the assessment of environmental quality, as well as sustainable environmental resource management. An efficiently functioning, integrated monitoring system requires the development of appropriate research methods.
Given the complexity and wide scope of environmental research, this Special Issue welcomes articles presenting a holistic approach to the problems of pollution and environmental protection, as well as describing achievements in research methodology and data interpretation. Contributions from different disciplines can be highly effective in explaining the responses of environmental components to stressors and developing innovative solutions for the protection and restoration of the environment. In this context, we also invite you to present interdisciplinary works on methods of preventing environmental damage, protecting ecosystems, integrated and sustainable resource management, as well as strategies for the development of land and water management policies.
We invite original research articles and critical reviews on topics related (but not limited) to the following:
- Chemical pollutants—sources, fate, migration, and accumulation in ecosystems.
- Water, soil and plant quality control.
- Water–soil–plant interactions.
- The impact of land use on water and plant quality.
- Policy in water and soil management.

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. Sustainability 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 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.
