The journal «Micropollutants and Emerging Contaminants» 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.
