Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the modern industrial world, it seems that toxic pollutants are everywhere. Toxic substances generally include inorganic heavy metal/metalloid ions such as lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, and arsenic ions; organic pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones; and gases such as chlorine, sulfur dioxide, ammonia, carbon monoxide, hydrogen arsenide, phosgene, vinyl chloride, nitrogen dioxide, carbon disulfide, ammonia, dimethyl sulfate, hydrogen fluoride, formaldehyde, chloroprene, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen cyanide, acrylonitrile, and methanol, as three groups of seriously toxic pollutants in the environment. Among the traditional techniques to remove toxic pollutants from our environment, the adsorption method is definitely an effective and economically feasible alternative. In fact, powerful adsorbents toward toxic pollutants have become a hotspot in the interdisciplinary field of materials and environmental sciences.
This Special Issue aims to report the present the state of knowledge around powerful adsorbents toward toxic substances in the environment. The articles presented here should be of interest to a broad audience of scientists working in toxics, materials, and environmental sciences because of their close relationship. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
The preparation and development of organic polymers or macromolecules or inorganic synthetic or natural materials with strong adsorbability toward the three types of toxic pollutants or contaminants in the environment.
We would like to invite you to contribute an article. If you want to contribute to this issue, please propose an article title matching the theme of this issue. Articles published in this issue will be indexed by Science Citation Index (ISI).
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
