Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Emerging Remediation Technologies for PFAS-Contaminated Soils", focuses on the latest advancements in addressing the pervasive environmental challenge posed by poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination in soils. PFASs, known for their persistence and resistance to degradation, pose significant risks to ecosystems and human health. This Issue compiles cutting-edge research on innovative remediation technologies, including physical, chemical, and biological approaches, to effectively mitigate PFAS contamination. Key topics include novel adsorption materials, advanced oxidation processes, electrochemical methods, and phytoremediation techniques. This Special Issue aims to highlight the effectiveness, scalability, and sustainability of these emerging solutions, providing a comprehensive overview for researchers, policymakers, and environmental practitioners. By showcasing successful case studies and experimental breakthroughs, this collection of studies seeks to drive forward the development and implementation of effective strategies to remediate PFAS-contaminated soils and protect environmental and public health.

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. Toxics 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 2600 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.
