Special Issue "The Influence of Environmental and Occupational Toxicology on Human Health"

Dear Colleagues,

I am inviting you to submit your manuscripts to this Special Issue. Toxicology is the science of studying the health effects of toxins and toxicants, identifying their adverse effects using methods from the fields of biology, chemistry, pharmacology, and medicine. Over the past century, rapid industrialization and urbanization has increased injury to human health from chemical substances.

This Special Issue will focus on, but is not limited to, environmental and occupational pollutants such as organic solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, endocrine disrupters, cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins, and exploring their exposure routes, toxicokinetics, toxicodynamics, mechanisms, metabolism, biomarkers, and toxicogenomics, as well as their risk-assessment-related biomonitoring during exposure assessments and workplace health surveillance.

Because the goal and scope of this Special Issue are wide, a wide range of professions are welcome to discuss and debate interdisciplinally. Papers and manuscripts, including reviews, case studies, brief reports, and research articles are all welcome.

Prof. Dr. Hung-Yi Chuang
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
