Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of the industrial activity related to the growth of the world population has contributed to the release of a number of hazardous pollutants in the environment. Therefore, as a consequence of the presence of these toxic chemicals in the environment, it is mandatory to develop fast, simple, easy-to-use, portable, and cost-effective devices for their detection. Enzyme-based sensors are good candidates for the detection of a minimal level of pollutants.
This Special Issue is addressed to all types of sensors designed for environmental monitoring. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Electrochemical sensors;
- Optical sensors;
- Sensor platforms;
- Novel materials used for sensors;
- Development of new sensors;
- Sensing technologies for environment monitoring;
- Environmental sensors networks;
- Environment quality monitoring;
- Real-time monitoring;
- In situ pollutants monitoring.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
