Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental pollution is a significant source of contaminants that impacts both human health and ecosystems. This Special Issue will explore a variety of topics related to the effects of pollutants and their metabolites on human health, utilizing physiologically relevant in vitro models and exposure systems to predict human health outcomes. Considering the ubiquitous exposure to environmental pollutants such as PFASs and microplastics, there is a significant gap in our knowledge and understanding of related long-term health effects in humans. This Issue will provide insight into cutting-edge in vitro modeling in toxicology for the evaluation of environmental pollutants.

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.
