Global Environmental Science (GES) is announcing a Call for Papers for the topic “Environmental Pollution and C o ntrol Mechanisms ” . The rapid pace of industrialization and urbanization has led to the widespread presence of both emerging and legacy contaminants in the environment, posing a significant global challenge. A deep understanding of the fate of these pollutants in complex environmental matrices and the development of efficient, green control technologies is urgently needed. This Special Issue aims to compile the latest research advances focusing on the occurrence, transformation, and control mechanisms of environmental pollutants. It seeks to provide a platform for academic exchange to advance theoretical knowledge and technological applications in environmental science, ultimately contributing to the improvement of ecological quality. We welcome original research articles, reviews, commentaries and perspectives related to various aspects of Environmental Pollution and Control Mechanisms. Topics of Interest Include (but are not limited to): Occurrence,distribution, source apportionment, and risk assessment of emerging and legacy pollutants. Transport, diffusion, and fate of various pollutants in environmental multi-media (air, water, soil, organism). Chemical, photochemical, and biological transformation pathways and mechanisms. Identification of degradation intermediates and assessment of their ecotoxicity. Application of advanced oxidation/reduction processes (e.g., photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, Fenton-like reactions) for pollution control. Design, synthesis, and performance of novel functional catalytic materials (e.g., single-atom catalysts, MOFs, carbon-based materials). Mechanistic studies and pathway elucidation of catalytic degradation processes. Application and challenges of coupled catalytic technologies in practical environmental remediation engineering.

Global Environmental Science (GES) is announcing a Call for Papers for the topic “ E nvironmental Geochemistry of Toxic and Hazardous Pollutants” . Toxic and hazardous pollutants—including heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), microplastics and emerging contaminants—pose significant threats to ecosystem stability, environmental quality and human health. Understanding their sources, geochemical behaviors including transport pathways, transformations and fate , is essential for mitigating their ecological and health impacts. We welcome original research articles, reviews, commentaries and perspectives related with the environmental geochemistry of toxic and hazardous pollutants in diverse environmental systems. Topics of Interest Include (but are not limited to): Geochemical processes and transformation mechanisms of toxic pollutants in soil, water, and sediment; Source apportionment, transport dynamics, and fate modeling of hazardous contaminants; Coupled biogeochemical cycling of pollutants and nutrients; Environmental monitoring, speciation analysis, and advanced analytical techniques; Microbial interactions and biogeochemical remediation of toxic pollutants; Risk assessment, pollution control, and ecological restoration strategies; Climate change impacts on the geochemistry and mobility of toxic substances; Emerging contaminants (e.g., PFASs, micro/nanoplastics) and their environmental behaviors.

Call for Papers for the Topic in Global Environmental Science : Toxicity, Environmental Health, and Risk Management of New Pollutants GES is announcing a call for papers together with the 7th International Symposium on Persistent, Bioaccumulating and Toxic Substances (IJRC-PTS 2025) with the topic on Toxicity, Environmental Health, and Risk Management of New Pollutants. New Pollutants are characterized by their environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity. These substances are often concealed within ostensibly pristine environments such as "blue skies", "clear waters", and "clean lands", as well as in human workspaces and living areas, making them difficult to detect. They have emerged as a critical challenge to the sustainable development of global ecosystems and the establishment of high-quality environmental health standards. We propose a call for papers with the theme "Toxicity, Environmental Health, and Risk Management of New Pollutants". Papers contributed from 7 th IJRC-PTS 2025 in Xinxiang, China (July 25-27, 2025) are welcome. Some themes focusing on ECs include, for example: Health Effects and Hazard Mechanisms of New Products; Environmental Behavior and Assessment Methods of New Pollutants; Exposure Identification and Health Risk Evaluation of New Pollutants; New Pollutants Prevention and Control Technologies and Management Strategies; Indoor New Pollutants and Human Health; Environment Occurrence, Fate and Exposure of New Pollutants; Environmental Pollution and Control in Ecologically Critical Zones.
