Environmental analytical chemistry is essential for protecting human health and the environment. By developing and applying new analytical methods, we can better understand the distribution and fate of environmental contaminants, and develop effective strategies for their remediation.
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the development of new and more sensitive analytical methods for environmental contaminants. This is being driven by the need to detect and quantify emerging pollutants, such as microplastics and nanomaterials, which are becoming increasingly prevalent in the environment.
Another important trend in environmental analytical chemistry is the development of new sensors and biosensors for environmental monitoring. These devices can provide real-time or near-real-time data on the presence of environmental contaminants, which can be used to guide remediation efforts and protect human health.
We encourage interdisciplinary research including topics such as:
• Development and application of new analytical methods for environmental contaminants, such as emerging pollutants, microplastics, and nanomaterials
• Advances in sample preparation and extraction techniques
• Development and application of new sensors and biosensors for environmental monitoring
• Application of analytical chemistry to environmental forensics and risk assessment
• Use of analytical chemistry to study the fate and transport of environmental contaminants
• Development and application of analytical chemistry to environmental remediation
This topic accepts original research, review, mini-review and methods articles.
