Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The concentrations of inorganic and organic pollutants that co-exist in soils, and water environments , mainly discharged from heavily industrialized areas, such as oil fields, mine fields, metallurgical refineries, etc., have recently begun receiving significant research attention. Inorganic pollutants such as heavy metals, and their mobility, bioavailability, and toxicity could interact with soil and water in their natural state and change their physicochemical properties. Toxic and persistent organic compounds, which have low volatility and are soluble in water, are also commonly present in soil–water systems. Once they have entered the soil, they are strongly absorbed onto soil organic matter, and slowly naturally degrade. In recent years, several researchers concentrated on studying toxic and persistent compounds. A novel environment-friendly technology with high activity and good selectivity is urgently needed for the research of toxicological evaluation, treatment methods, and removal mechanisms of toxic compounds in soil–water systems. This Special Issue focuses on novel toxicity analysis technologies, risk assessment, treatment methods and removal mechanisms, and their future in soil–water environment. Contributions to this Special Issue are expected to address the most debatable topics and the most relevant challenges of today’s treatment of toxic and persistent compounds.
This Special Issue welcomes manuscripts including (though not limited to) the following topics:
- toxicity reduction;
- remediation;
- treatment technology;
- inorganic or organic contaminants;
- risk assessment;
- emerging contaminants.

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. Toxics 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.
