Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Traces/residues of organic contaminants and chemicals in a broader context are at the forefront of analytical chemistry and its applications. In this Special Issue, we aspire to collect current works in the field of chromatographically separating a plethora of chemicals in various commodities, emphasizing food, biological, and environmental samples. Studies using gas/liquid mass spectrometry (single and tandem) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) are highly welcome to cover both targeted and untargeted chemical analyses in the investigated matrices. Risk assessment is also an area we seek to cover in this Special Issue to demonstrate the connection between analytical findings and the potential health effects that these chemicals can elicit on humans and the environment. This collection of papers can serve as a series of autonomous works that, in parallel, have a logical connection between them to provide a rationalized flow of knowledge, covering the majority of technological advances in mass spectrometry for contaminant residue chromatographic analysis and the needs of the analytical community, from students to researchers.

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. Separations 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 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.
