Request a sales quoteJournal of Hazardous Materials: Plastic covers advances in plastics science and technology. It publishes papers covering the detection, fate and behaviour in the environment of micro(nano)plastics and their additives and non-intentionally added substances. The journal also covers their effects on environmental and human health and mitigation measures to reduce their effects. Biobased and biodegradable plastics are included.
Journal of Hazardous Materials: Plastics publishes original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews, perspectives, and original research papers.
Articles are subjected to a first screening by the editors-in-chief to assess novelty, merit, and interests for a broad scientific audience. After passing the first screening, the paper may be sent to peer reviewers (at least two) who are required to submit reviews and suggestions within two weeks.
We invite submission of manuscripts on the following topics:
Methodologies and techniques developed for the identification and quantification of micro(nano)plastics, plastic additives and non-intentionally added compounds (NIAS)
Characterisation of micro(nano)plastics in all the environmental compartments or media, including partitioning, transport, transformation, and degradation
Characterisation of microplastics and nanoplastics in the food chain
Interaction of microplastics and nanoplastics with chemicals and microorganisms
Methods for plastics clean-up
(Bio)degradation of micro(nano)plastics
Ecotoxicological effects of micro(nano)plastics
Human health effects of microplastics
Plastic waste management
Development of technologies and processes for micro(nano)plastic pollution mitigation and treatment
Sustainable recovery of plastics and reuse for plastic pollution prevention
