Environmental Chemistry is a peer-reviewed journal established in 1982. It is sponsored by the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is published monthly by Science Press. It is appreciated by researchers from various research institutes in the environmental chemistry field, including universities, institutes of environmental research, environmental monitoring stations, etc.
Environmental Chemistry is an essential journal in China. It is included in many important retrieval systems and citation databases at home and abroad, such as CA (Chemical Abstracts), JST China (Japan Science and Technology Agency (Chinese Bibliographic Database), CSA(Cambridge Science Abstracts, AJ(Abstract Journal, VINITI), CSTPCD( Chinese Science and Technology Paper Citation Database), and CSCD(Chinese Science Citation Database) and so on.
The journal comprises subjects as original research on all aspects of chemistry related to environmental problems, such as sources, sinks, transfer, transformation, distribution, reactions, effects and fate of pollutants in air, water, soil and ecosystem, and also publishes the development and application of new chemical methods, monitoring, analysis, characterization of pollutants and trace amounts of naturally occurring active chemicals in the environment. Toxicity, removal and safety of pollutants are also the main topics. Development, modification and automation of instruments and green techniques to control pollutants will also be part of the journal.
