Journal overview

Chemistry of the Total Environment (COTE) is an open access, international and peer-reviewed journal established by Glintplus. The Journal aims to foster effective communication, and promote the understanding of significant chemical interactions in the environment, which includes, but not limited to, the ecosphere and the technosphere. COTE seeks to publish original and novel findings online, with focus on themes within the following categories:

• the fate and exchange of contaminants;
• mechanisms of exposure to contaminants;
• health and ecological effects of environmental pollutants;
• remediation and management of potentially harmful chemicals in the environment.

These themes can be from any of, or combination of, the environmental disciplines, such as aquatic environment, atmospheric environment, biomonitoring and biomarkers, emerging contaminants, environmental analysis and methods and environmental chemistry. Manuscripts from other areas of environmental studies like environmental catalysis and nanomaterials, environmental health and toxicology, environmental nanotechnology, environmental remediation and management and terrestrial environment are welcomed, also.
