Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I was recently invited to serve as the Guest Editor of a Special Issue of the Sustainability journal on Emerging Methods and Techniques for the Evaluation and Monitoring of Emerging Contaminants in Food and the Environment—an invitation that I readily accepted, as I strongly believe in the importance of assessing and evaluating contaminants in food and the environment. Emerging contaminants such as toxic metals, trace elements, microplastics, and bacteria, among others, may be present in the environment or food, posing a risk for human health or causing severe damage to the environment. Human activities have increased the presence of certain contaminants that pose a risk for humans and the environment. It is necessary to carry out studies about efficient methodology and techniques for the evaluation of such contaminants.
Therefore, it is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue by submitting papers on original research or reviews. The following topics are especially welcome: innovations/developments in techniques/methods, agrochemical residues and pesticides, natural toxins, allergens, toxic compounds produced during food processing, environmental contaminants, pesticides, veterinary drug residues, toxic metals, trace elements, pollutants, emerging issues and hazards, exposure studies, risk-assessment studies, managing strategies in food safety, regulatory frameworks, and adverse impacts on both public health and the economy.

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.
