The journal is an international medium for publication of original research on the environment with emphasis on changes caused by human activities.It is concerned with changes in the natural levels and distribution of chemical elements and their compounds that may affect the well-being of the living world,or represent a threat to human health.Papers in applied environmental chemistry and environmental health sciences are particularly encouraged.The scope is multidisciplinary and international and the subjects covered include:
(a) all aspects of the contamination or pollution of air,water,soil and the human food chain;
(b) natural and human-induced environmental changes at the global,regional and local levels;
(c) environmental risk management,remediation & treatment and environmental policy appraisal;
(d) effects on human and ecosystem health related to abnormalities in the level and distribution of chemical elements and their compounds in the environment;
(e) novel techniques and methods of chemistry and biochemistry applicable to environmental problems and environmental health;
(f) gene-environment interactions.
Special Issues consist of a collection of papers on a particular subject that reflect current thinking and awareness in a field that involves cutting edge science.These Issues should be focused on emerging or pressing environmental issues of scientific or public concern with global or regional significance.A Special Issue can contain review papers,original research articles or a combination of the two.A Special Issue should provide a reasonable assessment of what is new,what is current,what needs to be known or what should be done on a particular topic.Intending authors should first consult with the Associate Editor for Special Issues or the Editor-in-Chief before preparing their manuscripts.
