Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Occupational and environmental exposure to chemical agents constitutes a significant public health issue globally. Numerous chemicals commonly encountered in various occupational settings have been identified as human carcinogen, impacting workers across diverse industries. Understanding the mechanisms, exposure–response relationships, early detection, and preventive strategies for occupational cancers is critical to improving workplace safety and public health outcomes.
This Special Issue seeks original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and perspective papers exploring the identification and characterization of chemical carcinogens, methods for occupational exposure assessment, epidemiological evidence linking exposure and cancer outcomes, and effective intervention measures. We invite contributions focusing on novel methodologies, biomarkers for early detection, regulatory aspects, risk assessment models, and the latest advancements in occupational cancer research.
