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