The Journal publishes high-impact contributions on:
-Characterization of the Harmful Effects of Chemicals and Materials (including contaminants of emerging concern)
-Advances in Measurement and Monitoring of HM
-Transport and Fate of HM in Environment
-Impact Assessment and Mitigation
-Physico-chemical and Separation Processes for HM Removal
-Advanced Oxidation Process for HM Removal
-Thermal Processes for HM Removal
-Biological Processes for HM Removal
-Demonstrated Safer and Cleaner Technologies with minimization of hazardous effects of HM
-Resource Recovery (Energy and Materials) from HM with reduction of hazardous effects of HM
