Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

The sustainable use of environmental resources and the preservation of species and natural habitats are critical in order to not compromise the future. Investment in scientific research and technological innovation is crucial to find sustainable solutions that respond to global change and protect the environment. This investment requires a multidisciplinary approach. Based on an integrated perspective, this special issue will discuss issues related to environmental contamination and toxicology, the dissemination of R&D activities carried out on the Iberian Peninsula and in Latin America.

This special issue is dedicated to discuss multi-disciplinary approaches in the resolution of the problems caused by xenobiotic impacts, technologies and other manifestations of human nature, on the environment. It intends to cover a wide range of research from field and laboratory experiments to computational modelling approaches which support sustainable development and management of water resources

Articles discussing methodology and reviews of the current state of knowledge and possibilities for future research are especially welcome. Moreover, this issue will publish reviews and research articles. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental and methodological details, as applicable, must be provided. The American Journal of Environmental Science is an open access peer reviewed technical journal which publishes original research contributions and is an unparalleled resource for key advances in all areas of environmental studies and environmental sciences.

Manuscripts regarding original research proposals and research ideas would be highly appreciated. Manuscripts containing summaries and surveys on research cooperation and actual and future projects (as those founded by national governments or others) are likewise appreciated, as they provide interesting information for a broad field of users.
