Aims and scope

Trends in Ecological and Indoor Environmental Engineering (TEIEE) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes high-quality research at the interface of environmental science, engineering, and environmental health, with a particular focus on environmental safety and sustainability in both outdoor and indoor environments.

The journal aims to advance integrated knowledge on how natural, biological, and engineered systems interact to influence environmental quality, human health, and ecosystem resilience. TEIEE provides a platform for interdisciplinary studies that combine engineering approaches with ecological, biological, and socio-economic perspectives to address complex environmental challenges.

The journal particularly welcomes contributions that examine environmental processes and risks through the lens of systems analysis, engineering solutions, monitoring technologies, or environmental safety frameworks. Studies rooted in ecological, biological, or health sciences are within scope when they demonstrate clear implications for environmental management, infrastructure, risk mitigation, or the design of safer and healthier environments.

All submissions must demonstrate scientific rigor, methodological robustness, and relevance to real-world environmental challenges. Purely descriptive, narrowly biological, or clinical studies without clear linkage to environmental systems, engineering applications, or environmental safety are outside the scope of the journal.
