Environmental Impacts on Human Nutrition and Health

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental changes—such as air and water pollution, soil degradation, and climate variability—are increasingly influencing global nutrition and health. These stressors alter food quality, nutrient bioavailability, and metabolic outcomes, posing new challenges for dietary adequacy and disease prevention. This Special Issue of Nutrients invites contributions that clarify how environmental exposures affect nutritional status across the lifespan, from prenatal development to aging populations. We particularly welcome studies addressing dietary pathways of pollutant exposure, nutrient–toxicant interactions, and the nutritional implications of occupational or climate-related stress. Papers combining environmental monitoring, nutritional assessment, and health risk modeling are encouraged, as are interventions and policy analyses promoting sustainable, health-supportive food systems. By integrating environmental and nutritional sciences, this Special Issue aims to provide evidence to guide both dietary recommendations and environmental health policy.
