Journal of Environmental Quality
The journal publishes contributions under the headings of (i) Technical Reports, (ii) Reviews and Analyses, (iii) Environmental Issues, (iv) Short Communications, (v) Letters to the Editor, and (vi) Book Reviews. Papers in JEQ cover various aspects of anthropogenic impacts on the environment, including terrestrial, atmospheric, and aquatic systems. Emphasis is given to the understanding of underlying processes rather than to monitoring.
Technical reports published in JEQ are grouped by subject matter. These subject areas are periodically reviewed by the JEQ editorial board and are subject to change. The subject matter areas are:
- heavy metals in the environment
- plant and environment interactions
- organic compounds in the environment
- surface water quality
- ground water quality
- ecosystem restoration
- vadose zone transport processes and water quality
- waste management
- atmospheric pollutants and trace gases
- landscape and watershed processes
- wetlands and aquatic processes
- biodegradation and bioremediation
- ecological risk assessment
Contributions reporting original research or brief reviews and analyses dealing with some aspect of environmental quality in natural and agricultural ecosystems are accepted from all disciplines for consideration by the editorial board. Manuscripts may be volunteered, invited, or coordinated as a symposium. Acceptance of a group of symposium manuscripts for collective publication is limited to one such group per issue. Book reviews may be invited by the editor.

Reduction of odor and odorant emissions from slurry stores by means of straw covers
Swine (Sus scrofa) slurry stored in open storages is a source of airborne contaminants. A customary practice for ammonia and odor control consists of covering the surface of the slurry with floating ...
