Environmental Toxicology and Hazardous Minerals

Dear Colleagues,

At present, the assessment of living organisms’ exposure to environmental pollution and toxic pollutants is a multidisciplinary issue. This Special Issue will concern the impact of environmental pollution, toxins, endocrine disruptors and hazardous minerals on living organisms. 

The development of industry contributed to a significant increase in the levels of the above-mentioned substances in the environment. Endocrine disruptors such as Bisphenol A, which is an extremely common polymer that is used in typical everyday products, tends to leach into foodstuffs and may cause a variety of detrimental health effects. Toxic pollutants and hazardous minerals that enter the environment every day accumulate in the environment, causing long-term effects on human activity. 

There is a large gap in the literature regarding the impact of the above-mentioned factors on the health and development of living organisms; therefore, this Special Issue will consider manuscripts concerning: 

1. Characterization and influence of toxic pollutants, endocrine disruptors and hazardous minerals on the health and development of living organisms;
2. Mechanisms of impact and the influence of accumulation of toxic pollutants, endocrine disruptors and hazardous minerals in living organisms;
3. New approaches to the assessment of pollution levels and methods of their reduction.
