About This Special Issue
'Environmental Pollution Remediation' will address significant environmental pollution issues and problems that contribute new knowledge to science. This includes air, water, and soil pollution and climate change. New techniques for the study and measurement of pollutants are also encouraged. Every sort of remediation efforts like physical, chemical and biological approaches significant to remove pollutants from environment are highly encouraged to submit. Papers about sewage, waste and wastewater treatment and management, agronomy, remediation, biomonitoring, bioremediation and phytoremediation are also acceptable.

Apart from above mentioned issues, environmental monitoring approaches, occupation health safety steps, agricultural pollution monitoring and analysis, energy and sustainable development issues, local and globally important techniques, tools and methods to quantify environmental pollution are also welcome.

This special issue will also desire all aspects of Environmental Science, Engineering, and Technology. EPR will cover all areas of Environmental Science and related subjects, with emphasis on chemical compounds, environmental chemistry, environmental health & public health, environmental sciences, environmental toxicology, pollution and remediation.
