Aims & Scope

The Journal of Hazardous Materials publishes full length research papers, reviews, and case studies which improve our understanding of the hazards and risks certain materials pose to people and the environment or deal with ways of controlling these hazards and associated risks. The Editors particularly welcome proposals for review articles. To limit the Scope the following areas are excluded: non-hazardous materials, work place health & safety, standard municipal and wastewater treatment processes including nutrient removal, greenhouse gas mitigation, and the manufacturing of explosives.
