Dear Colleagues,

Advances in epidemiology can occur when interdisciplinary knowledge is applied to research design, implementation or interpretation. The goal of this special issue is to highlight novel theoretical, methodological or technological advances in epidemiological research on human exposures to anthropogenic factors and public or occupational health. Empirical papers on research using emerging or novel theories, methods or technologies are encouraged as are review papers that point to new directions of research with broad applicability and relevance for public and occupational health.
