Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The presence of emerging pollutants in estuarine and oceanic systems is a global problem. They are ubiquitous and can be transported widely at a large scale, being found in many biotic and abiotic media. Many emerging pollutants are listed as possible carcinogens and are of serious concern to human and environment health. This Research Topic aims to highlight recent developments in the study of the emerging pollutants in coastal environments and their subsequent risk assessments. Manuscripts concerning determination, sampling methods, and target and nontarget screening of emerging pollutants in the coastal environment, as well as studies on their environmental fate, mobility, degradability, bioaccumulation exposure, and related toxicology are of great interest.
The Topic Editors welcome high-quality submissions of original research papers and review articles on themes including, but not limited to:
- Target and nontarget screening of emerging pollutants in the coastal environment;
- Passive sampling techniques for emerging pollutants in the coastal environment;
- Bioaccumulation and biotransformation of emerging pollutants in organisms;
- Photochemical transformation of emerging pollutants in aquatic environments;
- Advanced oxidation technology for removing emerging pollutants in wastewater;
- Effects of emerging pollutants on a molecular, cellular, organismal, population, community, or ecosystem level;
- Characterization for potential risks of emerging pollutants to humans or ecosystems.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
