In the past we had several dedicated issues on special topics, and we plan to follow this practice in the future. The following topics are planned for future dedicated or special issues, in the order listed: Use and Effects of Antibiotics in $\mathrm{CAFO}=\mathrm{s}$ ; Bioremediation; Metals Removal; and Health Risk Assessment.

For authors interested in submitting an article for consideration for one of the specialty issues, they should contact the editor at 913-551-7453 or at [email protected] to submit the paper and confirm deadlines and schedules for these issues. Each of the specialty issues may also contain a few articles that are not related to the specialty issue.

In this issue, we have technical articles on the following: Treatment of contaminated soils and groundwater using in situ chemical oxidation; evaluation of decolorization, mineralization, and toxicity reduction of an azo dye reactive black 5 in a countercurrent bubble; application of Fenton’s reagent to remediate diesel-contaminated soils; simulation of lead ions adsorption onto the iron-coated medium dependent on temperature and pH; centrifuge testing of LNAPL migration and soil vapor extraction for soil remediation; oxidative and reductive degradation of mixed contaminants by bifunctional; and development of a university laboratory chemical inventory and exchange program.
