Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the characterization, treatment, and management of hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste. It covers topics such as radioactive wastewater treatment, mine tailings characterization, by-product utilization for soil stabilization, and thermochemical processing of biomedical waste. The journal also addresses the remediation of contaminated soils, sustainable pavement construction materials, microplastic transport in soil, and municipal solid waste biodegradation. Additionally, it examines landfill liner integrity, life cycle assessment of cutoff wall materials, advanced oxidation processes for wastewater, antibiotic resistance gene removal, heavy metal removal from soil and water, groundwater contamination, and contaminant transport through geoenvironmental barriers.
