Scope

The journal publishes research in all areas of the environmental chemical sciences, interfacing with earth science, applied science, and policy solutions, including: 

  • Environmental chemistry – sources, fate, transport and transformation of organic compounds, environmental contaminants and novel entities in the environment
  • Atmospheric and indoor chemistry – chemical processes in the atmosphere, air quality, aerosol chemistry, indoor air and human exposure
  • Geochemistry and biogeochemical cycles – elemental cycling, climate change impacts
  • Ecotoxicology and human health impacts – exposure, effects and risks

The journal also publishes research with direct applications in: 

  • Environmental management and pollution control
  • Science-Policy interface – environmental decision making
  • Safe and sustainable chemistry – life cycle assessment, material flow analysis, circular economy

Papers that are focused primarily on water engineering and treatment technologies or on the environmental behaviour of engineered nanomaterials would be better suited to our sister journals, Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology and Environmental Science: Nano.

Readership

Industrial and academic scientists and professionals involved with assessing environmental and biological impacts; measurement and analytical scientists; legislators; government bodies; national and international environmental agencies; health and safety experts; toxicologists; industrial and occupational health professionals; medical and clinical researchers; technology and instrumentation experts.
