Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Anthropogenic factors associated with industrial, urban, agricultural, and recreational activities have increased the emission of many hazardous chemicals into the environment. Several decades of these emissions have led to the accumulation of pollutants in different environmental compartments such as soil, water, and air. In particular, pollutants pose major concerns for human health and the environment, because these contaminants can migrate and become available to organisms, biota, and humans. Among the new challenges, there is the development of green and sustainable remediation approaches, which can create exciting interactions between engineers, chemists, biologists, and ecologists. In particular, the management of contaminated sites presents a number of important challenges that span assessment, characterization, remedial action(s), and long-term monitoring to ensure the protection of the environment and human health.
This Special Issue is dedicated to discussing the new developments and challenges in remediation technologies for sustainable applications. The aim is to address knowledge gaps and lead to the advancement of new knowledge on sustainable remediation technologies, by analyzing different aspects such as the following:
- Air pollution and treatment;
- Emerging pollutants remediation;
- Environmental pollution and remediation;
- Environmental risk assessments;
- Fate of contaminants in the environment;
- Green technologies for remediation of contaminated sites;
- Life cycle assessment (LCA) and environmental impact assessment (EIA);
- Materials for remediation;
- Planning aspects;
- Pollution and health issues;
- Reconversion of industrial areas;
- Sediment pollution and treatment;
- Social aspects of remediation;
- Soil pollution and treatment;
- Water pollution and treatment;
- Toxicity of contaminants and remediation technologies.
Contributions with case studies of remediation actions, preferably with a multidisciplinary approach, are particularly welcome.

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.
