Hazardous Compounds and Public Health: Programming the Future Based on Past Knowledge
This special issue belongs to the section "Toxicology and Public Health".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A large number of hazardous compounds have been used in the past, and many still persist at present with harmful effects on environmental and human health. Although some of these compounds have already been banned, their residues and fate persist in the environment, which raises a constant concern for public health.
The aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research and review articles focused on the effects of hazardous compounds used in the past (e.g., POPs, chromated copper arsenate) whose residues still persist today, affecting public health. Emphasis on in vitro cell-based systems, lab animals, and humans are considered. Monitoring studies as well as reports on new and innovative strategies for their treatment aiming at a more sustainable environment are also welcome.
