Environmental Remediation: Research Advances Towards a Comprehensive Sustainability Approach
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Contaminated sites can release toxic and carcinogenic compounds into soil, sediment, air and water, posing a threat to human health and the environment. Furthermore, they can hinder economic development. Therefore, remediation techniques are pivotal to reducing such risks by removing environmental contaminants.
Environmental remediation encompasses the process of cleaning up and restoring contaminated environments. It employs a variety of techniques and technologies, both in-situ and ex-situ, to eliminate or reduce pollutants, thereby mitigating their effects on human health, ecosystems, and the broader environment. In some cases, the sites can be isolated (e.g., by capping) to eliminate the migration pathways, thus protecting public health.
Environmental remediation often requires an interdisciplinary approach involving, for instance, ecology, physics, chemistry, botany, microbiology, molecular biology, and environmental engineering at the same time.
In this Topic, we will focus on introducing the latest research progress in environmental remediation, including, but not limited to, bioremediation techniques (e.g., phytoremediation, bioslurry reactors), soil or sediment washing, permeable reactive barriers, in situ chemical oxidation, soil vapour extraction, bioventing, and capping.
The Topic “Environmental Remediation: Research Advances Towards a Comprehensive Sustainability Approach” provides a platform to publish both reviews and original research papers. Please join us in creating a diverse collection of articles for a variety of Topics. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
