Editor’s Note

All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste should be accompanied by a list of four potential reviewers that the authors suggest. This list should include the complete name, address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail address, and a list of at least five key words that identify the expertise of each reviewer. The Journal is not obligated to use all or any of the recommended reviewers; however, we believe that this policy will lead to an improved review process.

All submissions for special issues should be uploaded to our electronic system, Editorial Manager. Please visit the Journal’s website for more information and for links to the online submission/review system.

We have published 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:

In this issue, we have technical articles on the use of white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus as a biodegradator of naphthalene in contaminated soil; posttreatment of UASB effluents of tapioca starch wastewater using downflow hanging sponge system; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons emissions and mutagenicity assessment of exhaust from a diesel generator; optimal management methodology for solid wastes in urban areas; toxicity characteristics of drilling mud and its effect on aquatic fish populations; preparation, performance, and cytotoxicity evaluation of nanoarchitectures $\mathrm{CuO}/{\mathrm{CeO}}_2$ composite catalysts for the catalytic decomposition of ammonia; transport and reactivity of lactate-modified nanoscale iron particles in PCP-contaminated soils; capacity of straw for repeated binding of crude oil from salt water and its effect on biodegradation; occupational risk evaluation of using bottom ash and fly ash as a construction material; and pharmaceutical residues in wastewater treatment plants and surface waters in Bangkok.
