Advances in Environmental and Engineering Research (AEER) is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc. This periodical is devoted to publishing high-quality peer-reviewed papers that describe the most significant and cutting-edge research in all areas of environmental science and engineering. Work at any scale, from molecular biology to ecology, is welcomed.
Main research areas include (but are not limited to):
- Atmospheric pollutants
- Air pollution control engineering
- Climate change
- Ecological and human risk assessment
- Environmental management and policy
- Environmental impact and risk assessment
- Environmental microbiology
- Ecosystem services, biodiversity and natural capital
- Environmental economics
- Control and monitoring of pollutants
- Remediation of polluted soils and water
- Fate and transport of contaminants
- Water and wastewater treatment engineering
- Solid waste treatment
Advances in Environmental and Engineering Research publishes a variety of article types (Original Research, Review, Communication, Opinion, Comment, Conference Report, Technical Note, Book Review, etc.). We encourage authors to be succinct; however, authors should present their results in as much detail as necessary. Reviewers are expected to emphasize scientific rigor and reproducibility.

About This Topic
Soil contamination is a critical environmental issue with far-reaching implications for human health, ecosystems, and food security. Recent research on soil contamination and its remediation has shed light on the urgency of addressing this problem and the complex challenges that lie ahead. Recent research has developed more sensitive and efficient methods for detecting and monitoring soil contamination. In the last decades, progress has been made in bioremediation techniques, nanotechnology, ecological and human health risk assessment, understanding of the interaction of pollutants with soil constituents, emerging contaminants, etc. Some key future challenges are legacy contaminants, emerging contaminants, policy and regulation, inventories, sustainable soil management practices, sustainable remediation techniques, public awareness, management costs, etc.

Abstract
The concentration of heavy metals in road dust poses significant risks to human health and the environment. This study investigates the characteristics of road dust, focusing on the contamination level of heavy metals like lead (Pb), iron (Fe), and arsenic (As). Road dust samples were collected from various locations in Khulna [...]
