International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health | Collaboration with The Environmental Health Association of Québec (ASEQ‑EHAQ)

We are pleased to announce that our journal International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH, ISSN: 1660-4601) has begun to collaborate with the Environmental Health Association of Québec (ASEQ‑EHAQ). As part of this collaboration, all members of ASEQ-EHAQ will enjoy a discount on the Article Processing Charge (APC) when submitting articles to IJERPH. However, this collaboration also goes beyond the discount offered to members and includes other services, as well as cross-promotion.

The Environmental Health Association of Québec (ASEQ‑EHAQ) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to achieving equity, inclusion, and accessibility for people living with the medical condition and disability multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS). ASEQ-EHAQ promotes support, education, research, and advocacy to support accessibility, and eliminate poverty, isolation, and discrimination experienced by this population.

ASEQ-EHAQ provides information to and collaborates with governments, health professionals, academics, and community groups to advance services, accommodations, and public policies that reduce toxic exposures and safeguard health. ASEQ-EHAQ also conducts and supports research on environmental health and MCS, promotes knowledge translation, and develops healthy, affordable housing adapted for people with MCS and overlapping conditions. ASEQ-EHAQ's work fosters partnerships worldwide to build healthier, more inclusive environments.

ASEQ-EHAQ is a professional organization whose functions are highly relevant to the scope of IJERPH. We look forward to collaborating with ASEQ-EHAQ and publishing state-of-the-art research conducted by its members.

The Special Issue “Understanding Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS): Interdisciplinary Insights into Science, Policy, and Lived Experience”, a collaboration between IJERPH and ASEQ-EHAQ, is now open for new submissions.
