Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquatic ecosystems are being strongly modified by the intensification of uses of drainage basins, which generates an increase in discharges of contaminants to aquatic environments, impacting ecosystem services and transferring contaminants to the ocean, threatening life under water. This complex situation is worsened in a scenario of climate change and the unsustainable utilization of natural resources. The complexity of the entangled relation among drivers of environmental impacts requires a multidisciplinary approach to understand the complete potential of threats to the renewable resources of aquatic systems, especially a full understanding of the biogeochemical processes that control the mobility, partitioning, bioavailability, and toxicity of trace elements and nutrients, in order to promote consistent environmental assessments.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2500 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.
