Scope

• Scope: a multidisciplinary journal, it offers the widest dissemination of investigations into environmental pollution, covering the identification, quantification, behaviour, fate, environmental toxicology, treatment and remediation of contamination across the bio-, hydro-, litho- and atmosphere.学科定位： 期刊为多学科刊物，尽可能广泛地传播与环境污染物有关的研究，覆盖生物圈、水圈、岩石圈与大气圈中污染物的识别、定量、行为、归趋、环境毒理学、治理与修复。
• Sections: the journal is organised into environmental chemistry, environmental toxicology and risk assessment, and treatment and remediation, alongside short communications, letters to the editor and themed special issues.栏目设置： 期刊分环境化学、环境毒理学与风险评估、治理与修复三大栏目，另设短讯、致编辑信与主题专号。
• Focus areas: the environmental chemistry section follows emerging contaminants such as PFAS, persistent organic pollutants, micro- and nanoplastics, pharmaceuticals and pesticides, trace metals and metalloids, passive sampling, non-target screening and effect-directed analysis.关注方向： 环境化学栏关注 PFAS 等新兴污染物、持久性有机污染物、微纳塑料、药品与农药、痕量金属与类金属、被动采样、非靶向筛查与效应导向分析等方向。
• Explicit exclusions: routine regional monitoring, bibliometric reviews, agricultural nutrient and plant physiology studies and purely analytical methodology papers are not considered, and submissions must carry significance for an international audience or lend themselves to interpretation at the global level.明确不收： 期刊不收常规方法学的区域监测、文献计量综述、农业养分与植物生理研究、纯分析方法学论文等，投稿须对国际读者具有意义或具备全球尺度的解释价值。
• Indexing and metrics: indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded, the journal has long ranked in the first or second quartile of environmental sciences. The 2023 impact factor of 8.1 is the last value shown, with no new figure displayed on the publisher page since.收录与指标： 被科学引文索引扩展版收录，在环境科学类别长期列第一至第二区；2023 年影响因子为 8.1，此后出版方页面未再列出新的影响因子数值。^[2]

History

• Founded in 1972: the journal was launched by Pergamon Press in 1972 and later passed into the Elsevier fold.1972年创刊： 期刊于 1972 年由 Pergamon Press 创刊，后随出版体系并入 Elsevier。
• Title merger: the companion title Chemosphere - Global Change Science was incorporated, leaving a single journal name today.刊名合并： 期刊并入 Chemosphere - Global Change Science 分刊的内容，形成现行的单一刊名。
• Scale evolution: output expanded markedly in the early twenties, making the journal one of the largest outlets in environmental science.体量演变： 期刊发文量在本世纪二十年代显著扩张，成为环境科学领域发文规模最大的刊物之一。
• Integrity milestone: in December 2024 the publisher announced decisive steps to safeguard research integrity, and no new impact factor has been displayed on the journal page since.科研诚信节点： 2024 年 12 月出版方发布加强科研诚信的决定性措施公告，期刊页面此后未再列出新的影响因子数值。^[3]
• Publishing cadence: issues are gathered into volumes at high frequency, volume 413 running in 2026, which in recent years has meant a new volume roughly every two weeks.出版节奏： 期刊以卷为单位高频出版，2026 年已出版至第 413 卷，近年约每两周推出一卷。
• Recent metrics: the impact factor stood at 5.778 in 2019, 8.943 in 2021 and 8.1 in 2023.近年指标： 影响因子 2019 年为 5.778，2021 年为 8.943，2023 年为 8.1。

Editors

• Co-editors-in-chief: five editors lead the journal, Jacob de Boer of VU Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Ralf Ebinghaus of Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon in Germany, Milena Horvat of the Jožef Stefan Institute in Slovenia, Willie Peijnenburg of Leiden University in the Netherlands and Yeomin Yoon of Ewha Womans University in South Korea.现任主编： 期刊设五位共同主编，分别为荷兰阿姆斯特丹自由大学的 Jacob de Boer、德国 Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon 的 Ralf Ebinghaus、斯洛文尼亚约瑟夫·斯特凡研究所的 Milena Horvat、荷兰莱登大学的 Willie Peijnenburg 与韩国梨花女子大学的 Yeomin Yoon。
• Division of labour: the co-editors cover environmental chemistry, mercury and trace metals, and ecotoxicology with risk assessment respectively.主编分工： 共同主编分别覆盖环境化学、汞与痕量金属、生态毒理与风险评估等方向。
• Editorial board: the board is organised along the three sections, with members from research institutions across Europe, Asia and the Americas.编委构成： 编委会按三大栏目组织，成员来自欧洲、亚洲与美洲的科研机构。^[4]
• Submission and peer review: manuscripts are lodged through Editorial Manager and undergo peer review, with an open access option available.投稿与评审： 稿件经 Editorial Manager 在线系统递交，接受同行评审，期刊支持开放获取出版选项。
• Editorial policy: papers must demonstrate a high level of novelty and uniqueness, and the integrity measures introduced from 2024 have tightened the handling of special issues.编辑方针： 期刊要求论文体现高水准的新颖性与独特性，并以 2024 年起的诚信措施强化专号与特刊组织。
