Environmental contaminants are chemicals that enter the environment through natural processes or human activities. Some are man-made and very stable, so they persist without breaking down and can build up in the food chain. Others occur naturally but may circulate at higher levels due to industrial activity. Contaminants found in food include metals, ionic compounds (like perchlorate), and persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which remain in the environment for long periods. Banned substances like PCBs still linger, while newer ones such as brominated flame retardants are also being detected.
Frequency: Bi-annual
Aims & Scope
Environmental Contaminants Reviews (ECR) is dedicated to advancing knowledge on the sources, transport, fate, and impacts of contaminants in the environment. The journal serves as a platform for comprehensive, critical reviews that synthesize current understanding and identify gaps in environmental science research. ECR provides valuable insights into contaminant pathways, their behavior across environmental compartments, and the potential risks they pose to ecosystems, wildlife, and human health.
ECR welcomes multidisciplinary contributions that integrate perspectives from analytical chemistry, biochemistry, biology, ecology, molecular and cellular biology, and toxicology. The journal particularly values reviews that connect laboratory findings with real-world environmental contexts, enhancing understanding of contaminant dynamics and their broader consequences.
• Site contamination, risk assessment, and remediation strategies.
