The journal Micropollutants and Emerging Contaminants (JMEC) will focus on the study, detection, behavior, and impact of micropollutants and emerging contaminants on the environment and human health.

Its scope includes:

• Sources and types of micropollutants, such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, microplastics, pesticides, and industrial chemicals.
• Transport, transformation, and degradation mechanisms in water, soil, air, and biological systems.
• Innovative detection and quantification methods, including advanced analytical techniques and sensor technologies.
• Treatment and removal technologies, such as advanced oxidation processes, membrane filtration, and bioremediation.
• Environmental and toxicological risk assessment of contaminants and their by-products.
• Regulatory and policy developments for pollution control and sustainable management.

The journal aims to promote interdisciplinary research and support science-based decision-making for a cleaner and safer environment.
