Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, environmental pollutants of water and soil, of both organic and inorganic origin, have arisen as a serious and global unresolved problem. The long-term and uncontrolled occurrence of these compounds in the environment might negatively affect ecosystems as well as pose a serious threat to living organisms. Therefore, there is a rapid need to optimize currently existing as well as to develop novel, sustainable, and efficient approaches for the removal of toxic environmental pollutants. In this context, techniques based on the direct application of oxygen and/or methods that use oxygen as a supporting factor for the remediation or conversion of hazardous compounds appear as promising, effective, and sustainable alternatives for currently used approaches. An increasing number of possibilities to design and develop novel oxygen-based techniques for wastewater and soil treatment give the opportunity to apply these materials, for instance, to sophisticated catalytic and biocatalytic solutions. However, further scientific studies are still required, as the development of novel oxygen-based solutions for the removal of pollutants acts as a driving force for their widespread application and effective environmental protection.
This Special Issue welcomes articles concerning the application of oxygen and oxygen-based techniques for the removal of environmental pollutants of various origin. We hope to attract both original research papers related to the fundamental science and practical application of oxygen and oxygen-based techniques used for the removal of environmental pollutants as well as review articles describing the current state of knowledge.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Oxygen is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
