Application of In Vitro Toxicity Evaluation Models for Environmental Pollutants

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Toxics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
