Aims and Scope of EMCR

Environmental Monitoring and Contaminants Research (EMCR) is an international Open Access journal focusing on the environmental distribution and fate of pollutants as well as their biological impacts. The journal publishes original papers (articles, letters, and technical notes) and review papers. Papers can be relevant to local, regional, and global scales and all environments. EMCR aims to build a vital store of knowledge that contributes to progress in the field and is important to its global audience of researchers.
