Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Environmental Pollution publishes research on the distribution, transport, and effects of pollutants in various environmental compartments. Studies investigate radionuclides in soil and biomonitoring, the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on bone tissue, and the use of stable isotopes to trace metal sources in marine environments. The journal also examines the uptake and phytotoxicity of elements in plants and the environmental persistence and ecological effects of genetically modified traits in wild populations.
