Atmospheric Environment
Atmospheric composition and its impactsAtmospheric Environment has an open access journal, Atmospheric Environment: X, which covers emissions science and reductions strategies: If you have a paper related to those themes, please submit your paper here. Alternatively, if your paper is related to the scope of Atmospheric Environment (see below) please submit your paper using the link on the left of this page - "submit your paper".Atmospheric Environment is the international journal for scientists in different disciplines related to atmospheric composition and its impacts. The journal publishes scientific articles with atmospheric relevance of emissions and depositions of gaseous and particulate compounds, chemical processes and physical effects in the atmosphere, as well as impacts of the changing atmospheric composition on human health, air quality, climate change, and ecosystems.The overarching aim of Atmospheric Environment is to publish original research, reviews, and perspectives that advance the international scientific community's understanding of the composition of the atmosphere. Atmospheric Environment has adopted a broad perspective of the atmosphere to include the background locations in the troposphere and stratosphere, continental and urban locations, as well as indoor environments and microenvironments that expose humans to atmospheric components.The scope of the journal includes natural and anthropogenic sources, transformations, and transport of atmospheric components, as well as the impacts of atmospheric components on global and regional climate, sensitive ecosystems, visibility, and human health. Atmospheric Environment specifically focuses on policy-relevant science that will influence regulations, management and protection of atmospheric resources, protection of ecosystems and human health, and will drive future scientific research efforts that investigate the atmosphere. Additional information about the evolving and expanding scope of Atmospheric Environment is presented below.The editors of Atmospheric Environment will manage the journal to best advance its goals, whilst serving the atmospheric science community through delivery of the most recent high-quality research.Atmospheric Environment encourages submissions describing novel experimental and modeling studies that advance understanding of the composition of the atmosphere and that elucidate sources, transport and transformations, and impacts from atmospheric components.To be considered for publication in Atmospheric Environment, manuscripts should clearly show that the research directly advances the understanding of the composition of the atmosphere.The following manuscripts will NOT be considered for publication:studies of new experimental methods that are neither applied or do not advance the understanding of the composition of the atmosphere,studies that examine emissions from novel atmospheric sources but do not demonstrate how these emissions impact the composition of the atmosphere,studies that examine atmospheric transport but do not directly show how the investigated transport process impact the composition of the atmosphere,computati... studies that do not demonstrate the atmospheric relevancy of the computed chemical pathways or intermediate products, andstudies that focus on well-established or routine monitoring and modeling methods to investigate air pollution issues of local interest.As research tools continue to advance and broaden the understanding of the impacts of atmospheric components, Atmospheric Environment is currently encouraging additional manuscript submissions in these developing areas:indoor air quality,satellites and remote sensing,human health,the use of real-time or semi-continuous experimental observations of the composition of the atmosphere, andthe use of data science to understand sources, transformation, transport, and the impacts of atmospheric components. Please note that studies that utilize novel data science tools that focus on forecasting and do not provide insight into atmospheric sources, processes, and impacts are not suitable for publication in Atmospheric Environment.Atmosphe... Environment is open to policy, economic, and environmental justice studies that focus on changes in the composition of the atmosphere but will only consider manuscripts that are appropriately targeted for the readership of Atmospheric Environment.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action)- ISSN: 1352-2310

Process Safety and Environmental Protection
Publication of the Institution of Chemical Engineers Official Journal of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering: Part BPSEP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering concerned with the safety of industrial processes and the protection of the environment.Papers that deal with new developments in safety or environmental aspects, demonstrating how research results can be used in process engineering design and practice, are particularly encouraged. Experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research will also be considered. The journal is especially interested in contributions that extend the boundaries of traditional engineering as well as in multidisciplinary papers.Papers related to environmental protection must take an integrated pollution control approach, demonstrating clearly that any proposed treatment method does not simply transfer pollution from one environmental medium to another, for example, from air to water or from water to solid waste. All such papers must discuss how any treatment effluents, spent adsorbents, etc., can be treated or disposed of safely, avoiding transfer of pollution to another environmental medium.For environmental protection, papers that are outside the scope are those that lack engineering aspects, including those that:use experimental techniques primarily to prepare and/or characterise various materials without considerations of process engineering design and practice;present primarily laboratory experiments of the effects of different parameters on behaviour of materials and pollutants (e.g. pH, temperature, mass of adsorbent, etc.) without further insights into the implications for engineering design and practice;focus primarily on adsorption models and curve fitting (e.g. Freundlich, Langmuir etc.); andcontain only chemical, physical and/or thermodynamic analyses.Core topic areas:Risk Assessment and Reliability EngineeringRisk assessment, risk management, consequence analysis, and uncertainty quantificationSupply chain risk managementCyber and physical security vulnerability assessmentRisk assessment of hydrogen-based technologiesHuman reliability analysis (HRA) and human-machine interface (HMI)Reliability predictions of integrated systems and high-temperature power electronicsIntegrity management and reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM)Technical Safety and Loss PreventionFire and gas detectionFirewater systemsFunctional safety and safety integrity levels (SIL)Layer of protection analysis (LOPA)Bowtie analysisEmergency responseHAZOP and other hazard/risk identification techniquesModellingM... liquid, gaseous, and two-phase releases and dispersionConsequenc... modelling, including: fire, explosion, toxic, eco-toxic effects and projectile impactsMethods, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD)Accident investigation and modellingChemical Toxicity and Exposure AssessmentToxic releases and exposure assessmentProcess plant health issues.Process Pipelines, Storage and SecurityProcess pipelines security and terrorismPipeline leak detection and measurement and corrosion assessmentCarbon capture and storage (CCS) and CO2 transportFire and ExplosionFire, combustion, and explosion phenomenaDust explosionsFire and blast protection and survivabilityHuman Factors in Design and ManagementHSE performance measurement including leading and lagging indicatorsHuman and organizational factors in safety casesHuman performance optimization by designSIMOPS (simultaneous operations)Situation... awarenessCommunicati... and risk control systemsResilience engineeringTechnical assurance and workforce trainingInherent Safety and Inherently Safer DesignHazard identificationDesign and development of new processes and equipmentMethodologi... for ranking inherent safetyRetrofitting inherently safer solutions and upgrading existing plant for improved safetyEnergy SafetyNuclear reactor protective and monitoring systemsSmall modular reactor safetyEnergy storage (e.g., metal hydride) safetyElectrochemica... system (e.g., fuel cells, batteries) safetySafety throughout the life cycle of the energy system Safety of novel energy systems (e.g., ammonia) Reaction HazardsChemical thermal stability and thermal reaction hazardsInfluence of impurities on reaction hazardsDevelopment of reactivity hazard index ranking toolsRunaway reactions, including detection and mitigationCompatibil... of chemicals involved in a chemical processIndustrial Hazards and Safety CasesMajor accident hazards ALARP and cost-benefit analysisIndustrial safety casesIncident investigations and case historiesCase histories of incidents and lessons learned integration into design and operationsTechnical analysis of incidentsComputation... modelling to simulate actual incidentsUse of incidents in training and improvement of safety performanceIncident investigation methodologiesInciden... databases and their applicationsAir pollution prevention and treatmentMethods and technologies for prevention and treatment of air pollutionAir dispersion modelling Prediction and mitigation of air pollution incidentsHealth impacts from air pollutionResource and waste managementRecovery and recycling of materials and productsEnergy from waste and alternative resourcesWaste minimisationWaste treatment technologiesWaste management: systems and processes for energy and material recovery and waste treatment;
