Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Equally critical to the inherent toxicology of chemicals is the ability to accurately measure them in the environment and predict their stability and transport potential at a variety of spatial scales. In certain cases, the physical and/or chemical processes that contribute to the toxicology of a chemical/substance are also operative in regulating their environmental fate. Thus, researchers that focus on toxicology and the risk of emerging contaminants should also be aware of the relevant literature on environmental fate and vice versa. This Special Edition is intended to bridge this gap and will focus on timely studies or review articles related to the analysis, transport (i.e., sorption and desorption), degradability, and/or phase behavior of chemicals or substances of emerging concern. Authors are invited and welcome to submit original research papers, reviews, and short communications.
Dr. Richard Anderson

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.
