Journal Title：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.

Journal of Contaminant Hydrology 是一本国际期刊，发表与地下水资源污染有关的科学文章。重点是研究影响非饱和（渗流）和饱和（地下水）区域以及地下水-地表水界面中有机和无机污染物的行为和归宿的物理、化学和生物过程。从含水层输送到含水层的污染物的生态影响是令人感兴趣的。仅关于地表水污染的文章，没有与地下水的联系，不在范围之内。在识别感兴趣的污染物时允许广泛的范围，包括遗留和新出现的污染物、营养物质、纳米颗粒、病原微生物（例如细菌、病毒、原生动物）、微塑料以及与能源生产相关的各种成分（例如甲烷、二氧化碳、硫化氢）。

该期刊的范围涵盖广泛的主题，包括：污染物在地表和地下的吸附、扩散、转化、挥发和传输的实验研究；仅对影响污染物行为的土壤和含水层特性进行表征；开发和测试污染物行为的数学模型；修复受污染场地的创新技术；开发用于监测土壤和地下水污染程度的新工具或技术；潜流带中污染物的转化；穿越次流带的污染物对地表水和地下水生态系统的影响；地下碳封存和/或周转；以及与能源生产相关的流体向地下水的迁移。
