Global Environmental Science (GES) is announcing a Call for Papers for the topic “Environmental 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.
