I am honored when our editor-in-chief asked me to write an editorial for the second issue of the Environmental Research & Technology Journal. After a tiring and long journey of preparatory work with a lot of effort put forward by our Editor-In-Chief, and warm support from the other co-editors, the first issue of the Environmental Research & Technology was launched at the beginning of the year 2018. We, as the co-editors, feel very fortunate to publish yet another issue of Environmental Research & Technology. We are also delighted and eager to work with our outstanding scientists and authors, reviewers, co-editors, and our only staff for the next years to come.
