Aims and scope

Environmental Pollutants & Bioavailability  is an open access journal that researches environmental pollutants and their impacts on biota and other living organisms.

The Journal aims to promote the research, discussion, review, and spread of information on environmental pollutants and bioavailability. Topics discussed will be of interest to researchers in many disciplines, including environmental, chemical, biological, food, medical, toxicology, and health sciences and technologies.

Environmental Pollutants & Bioavailability publishes research around the occurrence, distribution, transport, transformation, transfer, fate, and effects of environmental pollutants, as well as their impact on living organisms, such as:

• Heavy metals and their impact
• Persistent organic pollutants and their impact
• Emerging contaminants, such as engineered nanomaterials
• Pharmaceuticals and personal-care products as pollutants

Key themes of the Journal include the following “6Ms”:

• Methods for speciation analysis and the evaluation of the bioavailability of environmental pollutants, especially the development, validation, and application of novel methods and techniques.
• Media that sustain the processes of release, distribution, transformation, and transfer of environmental pollutants; of particular interest are emerging contaminants, such as engineered nanomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and personal-care products.
• Mobility of pollutants in the environment and biota, either spatially or temporally.
• Matters that influence pollutant speciation and bioavailability, mainly environmentally relevant conditions.
• Mechanisms that govern the release, distribution, fate, and transport of environmental pollutants.
• Models for the simulation of the release, distribution, fate and transport, transformation, bioavailability, bioaccumulation, and toxicity of environmental pollutants.

Environmental Pollutants & Bioavailability operates a single - anonymized peer review policy.

All articles will be made freely and permanently available online through gold open access publication.
