Dear Colleagues,

Heavy metals (HMs) have been regarded as a hazard to humans and the ecotope due to their toxicity, persistence, and biological accumulation for centuries. Risks to human health can be caused by heavy metal residues through a multi-pathway, owing to their transport and transformation among environmental multi-media, such as ambient air, soil, surface water, etc. Unfortunately, after long-term research, the present advances in human technology have not effectively reduced that risk. In fact, increased industrialization and urbanization of the developing world, the enhanced demand for resources, and the advent of new technologies have increased the risk of exposure to these substances. In recent decades, environmental risk assessment and sustainable management have been established as valuable tools to support national or regional quantitative regulatory systems and administrative decision making for HMs pollution. Historically, environmental health risk assessments have tended to narrowly focus on single heavy metals with indicators of their total content, usually emphasizing a specific human health endpoint and a particular exposure pathway for hypothetical receptors. However, it is obvious that multi-receptors in the real world are routinely exposed to HMs in environmental multimedia from multi-pathways. Furthermore, the exciting progress on studies regarding HMs’ bioavailability and combined effects, spatial analysis technology, uncertainty control method, exposure science, remediation techniques, etc., are possible to promote the current methods of environmental health risk assessment and sustainable management. Thus, this Special Issue will encourage and highlight new or improved approaches, models, and theories, which have either been applied or are under development, that move the field forward in assessing and managing the environmental health risks posed by HMs from multi-pathway exposure in environmental multimedia. Research papers, analytical reviews, case studies, conceptual framework, and policy-relevant articles are solicited. The Guest Editors will select high-quality research for blind peer review. Reviewers will be selected from researchers who are active in the field, and whose works are present in international databases.

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 papers will be 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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1400 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.
