Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue seeks to highlight current advances in the understanding and modeling of the fate and behavior of chemical contaminants in the environment. Contaminants of interest include both legacy (e.g., PAH, PCBs, dioxins and heavy metals) and emerging contaminants (e.g. personal care products, pharmaceuticals and PFAS). Environmental settings of interest include soil and sediments as well as transport to adjacent air and water. Of particular interest are dynamic environmental settings such as systems subject to regular inundation and drainage due to tides, seasonal changes in water levels and dynamic unsaturated zones subjected to water table changes and rainfall. Manuscripts on cross-media transport and contaminant processes that are affected by a combination of physical, chemical and biological changes and biogeochemical changes, or lead to these effects themselves, are especially encouraged. Applications on contaminant assessment and in situ remediation processes are also encouraged.

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.
