CLEAN - Soil, Air, Water is a new, international and interdisciplinary journal covering all aspects of Sustainability and Environmental Safety. It hosts an attractive mixture of peer-reviewed scientific reviews, research papers, and short communications. Combining environmental aspects of soil, air, water, and sustainability & technosphere the journal focuses on prevention measures and forward oriented approaches rather than on remediation and pollution cleanup. With editors from all over the world — all of them are renowned specialists in their subjects and respective countries — and by reflecting the rapid development of environmental sciences CLEAN aims to close the gap between developing and developed countries.

Additionally, a magazine section provides an interesting variety of news, facts, personal profiles, forthcoming events and conferences as well as book reviews. Topical Issues bring readers up to date on recent developments on the most crucial areas of research and technological advances.
