Scope

• The journal takes the application of technology to environmental problems as its subject, and it prefers work that carries a method to the point of use.该刊以技术应用于环境问题为题材，偏好把方法推进到实用阶段的工作。

• Environmental engineering forms one named area, covering the plant and the process that clean a waste stream.环境工程是点名的方向之一，涵盖净化废物流的装置与工艺。

• Environmental biotechnology forms another, and the journal carries work on the organisms that break down a pollutant or recover a resource.环境生物技术构成另一个方向，该刊刊载降解污染物或回收资源的生物工作。

• The circular economy is named among the interests, so a study may ask how a material can be returned to use instead of being discarded.循环经济列于关切之中，研究因而可以追问一种材料如何回到使用而非被丢弃。

• Municipal and industrial wastewater management is treated at length, from the sewer to the discharge standard that governs it.市政与工业废水管理得到充分处理，从下水道一直延伸到支配它的排放标准。

• Drinking-water treatment is covered, and the journal follows the steps that turn a raw water into a safe supply.饮用水处理在覆盖之列，该刊追踪把原水变为安全供水的各个步骤。

• Air-pollution control is named, with work on the capture of a gaseous pollutant and on the fate of what is removed.空气污染控制被点名，涉及气态污染物的捕集以及被去除物的去向。

• Water-pollution control runs through the journal, whether the pollutant enters a river or a process tank.水污染控制贯穿该刊，无论污染物进入的是河流还是工艺槽。

• Solid-waste management is taken as a subject of its own, covering the landfill, the compost heap and the material-recovery line.固体废物管理作为独立题材被收载，涵盖填埋、堆肥与物料回收线。

• Industrial hygiene belongs to the remit, so a study may weigh what a process exposes its workers to.工业卫生属于其范围，研究因而可以权衡一道工艺让其工人接触了什么。

• That stepped-up frequency has held since 2019, a sign of the volume of applied work the field produces.这一加快后的频率自 2019 年起保持，反映出该领域所产出的应用工作之多。

• A change of editorial hand came in 2017, when Peter Jarvis took over as the journal's leading editor from Simon Parsons.编辑权在 2017 年发生交接，由（Peter Jarvis）自（Simon Parsons）手中接任该刊的首席编辑。

• The incoming editor recorded at the time that more than four hundred manuscripts had been published in 2016, then an unusually large year.接任的编辑在当时记下，2016 年刊出了四百多篇稿件，是一个格外多产的年份。

• The impact factor has moved within a band, standing at 3.247 in 2021, 3.475 in 2022, 2.2 in 2023, 2.0 in 2024 and 2.2 in 2025.影响因子在区间内移动，2021 年为 3.247，2022 年为 3.475，2023 年为 2.2，2024 年为 2.0，2025 年为 2.2。

• The gold share of open access articles stayed low at 2.88 per cent in 2025, the title keeping a hybrid arrangement.2025 年金色开放获取文章的比例偏低，为 2.88%，该刊保持混合出版安排。

• Output is large for a specialised title, running to some three hundred papers a year, and the journal is widely cited for its age.对一份专门刊物而言其产出颇大，一年约三百篇论文，按办刊年资计被引也颇为可观。

• The subject heading under which it is filed is narrow, the title being counted in the environmental sciences.该刊被归入的主题类别较窄，计在环境科学名下。
