International Journal of Environment and Pollution

Aims & Scope

IJEP provides an international forum in the field of environment and pollution and addresses early and medium-term challenges involving scientific prediction, modelling and assessment.

It focuses on ground-breaking research in the science of environmental pollution, at the early scientific stage.

It is one of three key journals which together offer complete coverage of environmental issues: IJETM focuses on technical/engineering, policy and management solutions for environmental problems, and IJGEnvI focuses on future, longer-term environmental scenarios, ecological economics, climate change and biodiversity.
