JOURNAL OF CONTAMINANT HYDROLOGY

The Journal of Contaminant Hydrology is an international journal publishing scientific articles pertaining to the contamination of subsurface water resources. Emphasis is placed on investigations of the physical, chemical, and biological processes influencing the behavior and fate of organic and inorganic contaminants in the unsaturated (vadose) and saturated (groundwater) zones, as well as at groundwater-surface water interfaces. The ecological impacts of contaminants transported both from and to aquifers are of interest. Articles on contamination of surface water only, without a link to groundwater, are out of the scope. Broad latitude is allowed in identifying contaminants of interest, and include legacy and emerging pollutants, nutrients, nanoparticles, pathogenic microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, viruses, protozoa), microplastics, and various constituents associated with energy production (e.g., methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide).The journal's scope embraces a wide range of topics including: experimental investigations of contaminant sorption, diffusion, transformation, volatilization and transport in the surface and subsurface; characterization of soil and aquifer properties only as they influence contaminant behavior; development and testing of mathematical models of contaminant behaviour; innovative techniques for restoration of contaminated sites; development of new tools or techniques for monitoring the extent of soil and groundwater contamination; transformation of contaminants in the hyporheic zone; effects of contaminants traversing the hyporheic zone on surface water and groundwater ecosystems; subsurface carbon sequestration and/or turnover; and migration of fluids associated with energy production into groundwater.

《污染物水文学杂志》是一份国际期刊，发表有关地下水资源污染的科学论文。重点是研究物理、化学和生物过程对不饱和(vadose)和饱和(地下水)带以及地下水-地表水界面中有机和无机污染物的行为和命运的影响。污染物从含水层和向含水层运输的生态影响是令人感兴趣的。只涉及地表水污染的文章，不涉及地下水的，不在范围之内。在确定感兴趣的污染物时，允许有广泛的范围，包括遗留污染物和新出现的污染物、营养物质、纳米颗粒、致病微生物(如细菌、病毒、原生动物)、微塑料以及与能源生产有关的各种成分(如甲烷、二氧化碳、硫化氢)。该杂志的范围包括广泛的主题包括:实验研究污染物吸附，扩散，转化，挥发和运输在表面和地下;只有在土壤和含水层性质影响污染物行为时才对它们进行表征;污染物行为数学模型的开发与测试恢复受污染场址的创新技术;开发监测土壤和地下水污染程度的新工具或新技术;低渗区污染物的转化污染物通过低渗带对地表水和地下水生态系统的影响;地下固碳和/或周转量;以及与能源生产相关的流体向地下水的迁移。
