Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental monitoring includes the measurement of the three main environmental matrices—air, water, soil—environmental noise and vibration, and the following materials: gases; drinking water, surface water, groundwater and wastewater; solid and liquid waste; human, plant and animal bodies as well as organs; and synthetic products. The most interesting measuring techniques are those that allow real-time automated measurements either in situ or remotely. Particularly challenging and requiring the development of new sensing solutions is the measurement of several chemical quantities and materials.
An extremely important issue related with any measurement, and particularly in the present cases, often overlooked, is the metrological quality of the measurements, namely, their accuracy.
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of current studies and achievements on advanced sensing technologies for environmental monitoring applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
