Journal of contaminant hydrology

The Journal of Contaminant Hydrology is an international journal publishing scientific articles pertaining to the contamination of subsurface water resources. Emphasis is placed on investigations of the physical, chemical, and biological processes influencing the behavior and fate of organic and inorganic contaminants in the unsaturated (vadose) and saturated (groundwater) zones, as well as at groundwater-surface water interfaces. The ecological impacts of contaminants transported both from and to aquifers are of interest. Articles on contamination of surface water only, without a link to groundwater, are out of the scope. Broad latitude is allowed in identifying contaminants of interest, and include legacy and emerging pollutants, nutrients, nanoparticles, pathogenic microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, viruses, protozoa), microplastics, and various constituents associated with energy production (e.g., methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide). The journal''s scope embraces a wide range of topics including: experimental investigations of contaminant sorption, diffusion, transformation, volatilization and transport in the surface and subsurface; characterization of soil and aquifer properties only as they influence contaminant behavior; development and testing of mathematical models of contaminant behaviour; innovative techniques for restoration of contaminated sites; development of new tools or techniques for monitoring the extent of soil and groundwater contamination; transformation of contaminants in the hyporheic zone; effects of contaminants traversing the hyporheic zone on surface water and groundwater ecosystems; subsurface carbon sequestration and/or turnover; and migration of fluids associated with energy production into groundwater.

杂志Journal of contaminant hydrology是一本国际期刊，发表与地下水资源污染有关的科学文章。重点研究影响非饱和（渗流）和饱和（地下水）区域以及地下水-地表水界面中有机和无机污染物的行为和命运的物理、化学和生物过程。污染物从含水层输送到含水层所产生的生态影响是值得关注的。仅涉及地表水污染而与地下水无关的文章不在本范围内。在识别感兴趣的污染物方面允许有广泛的自由度，包括遗留和新兴污染物、营养物、纳米颗粒、病原微生物（例如细菌、病毒、原生动物）、微塑料以及与能源生产相关的各种成分（例如甲烷、二氧化碳、硫化氢）。
