Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The widespread use of pesticides in agricultural pests and vector control has become a double-edged sword. While essential for controlling pests or vectors and ensuring high agricultural yields and public health, the extensive application of chemical pesticides has led to significant ecological and health concerns. Pesticides, including insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and bactericides, vary greatly in their efficacy, toxicity, and environmental impact. Overuse and misuse have resulted in increased pesticide resistance, environmental pollution, and adverse effects on non-target organisms, including humans.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in the analytical research and toxicological determination of pesticides. We seek contributions that focus on innovative analytical methods for detecting pesticide residues, understanding their mechanisms of action, assessing their environmental and health impacts, and developing safer and more sustainable pest control strategies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel analytical techniques for pesticide detection;
- Mechanism of pesticide resistance;
- Mechanisms of action of various pesticides;
- Environmental and health impact assessments of pesticides;
- Risk assessment models for pesticide exposure;
- Toxicological studies on pesticides;
- Environmental monitoring of pesticide residues;
- Sustainable pest control strategies.
We invite researchers and practitioners to submit their work to advance the knowledge and practices surrounding pesticide use, aiming for a safer and more sustainable agricultural future.
Kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Qian Han

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
