Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology is a journal where researchers can publish full-length articles describing the source, transport, fate and effects of environmental contaminants. The journal provides a place for the publication of timely, detailed and definitive scientific studies that provide insight into contaminants in the environment, with multidisciplinary contributions from the fields of analytical chemistry, biochemistry, biology, ecology, environmental science and toxicology. The journal attaches importance to manuscripts that advance our understanding of contaminants of concern in air, water, sediments and biota, the fate and behavior of these contaminants in the environment, and effects on the health of plants and animals. All manuscripts should have strong contextual linkages to the environment. Submissions that present an extension or confirmation of topics that have already been extensively studied or are not considered to be of interest to an international readership will not be considered.

The journal does not typically consider submissions dealing with contaminant monitoring at a geographically limited scale, occupational exposure and effects in humans, dissipation of chemicals in soils, removals of contaminants in wastewater, or toxicity testing of chemicals that have been well documented and regulated. However, submissions addressing one of these topics may be considered in cases where there is a strong link to the receiving environment, the development of new techniques, or presents a unique data set from a part of the world that has been heretofore poorly investigated.

The journal will also consider submissions describing techniques for remediation of contaminants in environmental matrixes (e.g., soil, water, air), with a particular emphasis on low-cost solutions that do not require advanced treatment technologies. Manuscripts describing remediation technologies tested at bench-scale only, without validating applications to actual contaminated environments will not normally be considered.
