Frontiers in Environmental Chemistry is a high-impact open-access journal that publishes rigorous and high-quality research on all aspects of environmental chemistry. The journal aims to provide a platform for researchers to share their latest findings and insights, and to foster collaboration and innovation in the field. We welcome submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the sources, transport, fate, and effects of chemical substances in the environment; the development of analytical methods for environmental monitoring; the remediation of contaminated sites; the impact of climate change on environmental chemistry; and the development of sustainable chemical processes. We are committed to publishing research that is both scientifically sound and relevant to addressing pressing environmental challenges.
