Journal subject matter encompasses all aspects of contamination within the environmental media of air, water, soil and biota.The journal is an international, quarterly, peer-reviewed publication offering scientific studies that explore source, fate, transport, and human health and ecological effects of environmental contamination. Contamination is delineated in terms of chemical characterization, biological influence, responsible parties and legal consequences. Manuscripts dealing with a wide range of environmental issues and how they relate to the characterization and tracking of contamination will be accepted. Journal focus is on scientific and technical information, data, and critical analysis in the following areas: • Analytical Chemistry • Geochemistry • Atmospheric Chemistry • Microbiology • Environmental Fate Assessment • Environmental Transport Assessment • Integrated Case Studies • Legal Considerations
Risk Sciences is a general-interest journal that publishes academic research and industry practices on risks and disruptive technologies across all fields including agriculture, economics, engineering, environmental science, finance, health, law, management, natural sciences, and public administration.Risk Sciences encompass all scientific areas that study the identification, quantification, analysis, communication and governance of risks and uncertainties across all walks of life and society. It has become a fast-evolving interdisciplinary domain with the increasing sophistication of human civilization at this day and age. An important aim of this journal is to become a leading platform for coalescing research interests across multiple disciplines and building the synergy for the advancement of Risk Sciences.The journal welcomes all scientific work pertaining to risks and uncertainties in the form of original research papers, review articles, industrial case studies and perspectives.

Soil & Environmental Health (SEH) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality papers with soil and environmental health focus. The journal welcomes high-quality process-oriented and hypothesis-based submissions, which are based on novel research that contribute towards sustainable soil and environmental management, and explore the nexus between soil health and functions, environmental and human health, and related ecosystem services. To take on multiple societal grand challenges, soil and environmental health research requires the integrated contributions of scientists from different disciplines, across the natural and social sciences and engineering disciplines. SEH aims to publish cutting-edge novel research that promotes the fundamental understanding, practical technological applications, and realistic policy implementation to promote soil and environmental health.Subject areas include, but are not limited to:Scientific foundation of the soil and environmental health concept;Case studies exploring the implementation of the soil health concept;The one-health concept to promote soil, human and planetary health;Soil health indicators for different soil threats and related thresholds;Soil and environmental health monitoring and mapping;Methods to assess and model soil and environmental health;Nexus between environmental health, soil functions and ecosystem services;Sustainable soil and environmental management and engineering;Soil and environmental health policy and legislation;The economy of soil and environmental health.
