Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal focuses on the environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology of contaminants in aquatic and terrestrial systems. It investigates the detection, degradation, and ecological risks of emerging pollutants such as microplastics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Research also explores the impact of these contaminants on organismal health, microbial communities, and ecosystem functions, as well as the development of remediation and monitoring techniques.
