International Journal of Environmental Chemistry

International Journal of Environmental Chemistry

International Journal of Environmental Chemistry [2456-5245 (e)] is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2015 aims to serve as a platform for the dissemination of innovative ideas and research in entire areas of Environmental Chemistry. The aim and Objective are to create interest among Researcher Scholars in Environmental Chemistry dealing with atmospheric, aquatic, and soil chemistry, as well as profoundly depend on Environmental Sciences. Environmental chemistry is an interdisciplinary science that includes the chemical processes occurring in the environment which are impacted by humankind’s activities.

The journal welcomes original and interdisciplinary research in the following areas:

• Atmospheric and Air Chemistry: atmospheric pollutants, particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, aerosol chemistry, gaseous contaminants, source apportionment, air-quality monitoring, exposure assessment, and chemical transformation in the atmosphere.
• Aquatic and Water Chemistry: surface water, groundwater, hydrochemistry, water quality, nutrient and contaminant chemistry, speciation, redox processes, and chemical interactions in freshwater, marine, and estuarine environments.
• Soil and Sediment Chemistry: soil–water interactions, adsorption and desorption, nutrient chemistry, heavy metals, organic contaminants, soil pollution, chemical mobility, and contaminant transport.
• Environmental Analytical Chemistry: sampling, extraction, separation, spectroscopy, chromatography, mass spectrometry, electrochemical methods, sensors, biosensors, chemometrics, and validated analytical methods for environmental matrices.
• Emerging Contaminants: pharmaceuticals, personal-care products, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, PFAS, microplastics, nanomaterials, persistent organic pollutants, and other contaminants of emerging concern.
• Wastewater Treatment and Reuse: chemical and physicochemical treatment, adsorption, membranes, coagulation, oxidation, advanced oxidation processes, photocatalysis, electrochemical treatment, contaminant removal, water reuse, and treatment-process chemistry.
• Waste Chemistry and Resource Recovery: municipal, industrial, hazardous, electronic, pharmaceutical, and agricultural wastes; leaching; chemical recovery; recycling; valorization; and circular-economy approaches.
• Environmental Toxicology and Chemical Risk: chemical exposure, toxicity, ecotoxicity, bioaccumulation, biomagnification, contaminant mixtures, environmental fate, risk assessment, and chemical safety.
• Biomonitoring and Environmental Indicators: chemical biomarkers, bioindicators, environmental DNA where linked to contaminant assessment, active and passive biomonitoring, and early-warning systems.
• Pesticide and Agrochemical Chemistry: pesticide residues, degradation, transport, environmental fate, exposure, drift, ecotoxicity, monitoring, and remediation.
• Green and Sustainable Environmental Chemistry: pollution prevention, green chemistry, cleaner production, sustainable materials, resource efficiency, waste minimization, and low-impact chemical processes.
• Environmental Nanochemistry and Materials: nanomaterials for sensing, adsorption, catalysis, remediation, and environmental applications, including assessment of environmental fate and safety.
• Data-Driven Environmental Chemistry: chemometrics, modelling, machine learning, artificial intelligence, spatial analysis, and predictive tools when applied to environmental chemical processes, monitoring, or contaminant assessment.
