Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Work-related activities affect human health and the environmental sphere; this is reflected in a negative impact on environmental health. In light of this, occupational exposure to pollutants and xenobiotics threatens workers’ health and represents a serious public health issue. In this framework, the generation of robust scientific evidence is essential to inform policymakers and regulatory authorities and to support the development of effective strategies for the protection of both human health and the environment.
This Special Issue aims to collect valid and up-to-date information on the relationship between work-related exposure and environmental health, with the purpose of enhancing understanding of this topic. More specifically, studies aiming to estimate the impact of occupational exposure on human health, both from the perspective of risk assessment and through biomonitoring, are considered of interest. Methodological studies proposing new, rapid and sustainable techniques for the identification and measurement of pollutants in biological or environmental matrices also fit with the aims of this Special Issue. Lastly, the emergence of new pollutants is a cause for concern; thus, rapid detection, adequate risk assessment and timely dissemination of information can help prevent or mitigate the resulting threats.
