Below, ESI Special Topics visited the website of Chemosphere and captured the audience and description of this highly-cited journal.

Chemosphere is an international journal designed for the rapid publication of original communications as well as review articles. Chemosphere, as a multidisciplinary journal, offers maximum dissemination of investigations related to all aspects of environmental science and its audience includes environmental scientists, chemical engineers, biologists, toxicologists. Chemosphere will publish original communications describing important new discoveries or further developments in important fields of investigation related to the environment and human health. Reviews, mainly of new developing areas of environmental science, and special, themed issues on relevant topics are also covered.

The following sections and subject fields are included:

• Persistent Organic Pollutants and Dioxins: all papers related to persistent organic pollutants Dioxin conference proceedings are published annually.
• Environmental Chemistry: environmental fate: transport, biodegradation, bio-accumulation, photochemistry etc., environmental analysis, application of environmental modelling/QSAR, water and soil chemistry. As well as monitoring studies presenting new findings or interpretations.
• Environmental Toxicology and Risk Assessment: ecotoxicology: aquatic and terrestrial, animal toxicology, endocrine disruptors, epidemiology, biochemistry, pharmacokinetics/metabolism, testing methods, and occupational hazards and exposure.
• Science for Environmental Technology: advanced waste and wastewater treatment process, incineration, remediation, hazardous waste - industrial chemicals, and green chemistry.
• Global Change Science: changing atmospheric composition, emissions and chemical formation for environmentally important constituents, fluxes and exchange mechanisms of key chemical constituents across environmental interfaces. Climate modelling and evaluation, modelling tropospheric, stratospheric and oceanic chemical and transport processes, effects of global climate change on human life, including agriculture, extreme weather events, and health. Integrated models for controlling emissions of environmentally important constituents, including economic impact analyses as well as integration of environmental science with public policy or new technologies.
