Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environment health research delivers research results and innovation in various domains. This includes the generation of harmonized data for risk assessment, the advancement of technologies, contributions towards informed decision making, and the production of knowledge applicable in academia, the health sector, policymaking, and public health by protecting citizens' health and well-being. To achieve this aim, it is crucial to foster environmental sustainability by adopting sustainability innovation, following the SDGs defined by the United Nations until 2030.
This Special Issue focuses on bridging innovative research with practical applications in the field of environmental health. It highlights studies that not only advance scientific understanding but also demonstrate clear, real-world relevance and implementation. Contributions are encouraged to emphasize how novel findings can be translated into actionable strategies or technologies that address pressing environmental health challenges. This Special Issue aims to strengthen the link between scientific discovery and tangible impact, supporting progress toward local and global environmental goals.
Taking all of these into consideration, we encourage submissions related to the following topics:
- Research across different disciplinary domains studying the relationship between environmental health, innovation and application;
- Environmental health and new, innovative, and sustainable solutions that might improve the population’s well-being;
- Relationships between different kinds of indoor air pollutants and their effects on human health;
- Methodologies and/or frameworks that cross the domains of environmental health and new and innovative solutions following the SDGs.
- Digitalization and artificial intelligence in environmental health;
- Exposome assessment and human biomonitoring;
- Climate change adaptation and urban resilience;
- Circular economy and sustainable production.
