Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will showcase selected papers from the 3rd International Online Conference on Toxics—Connecting Ecosystems, Animals, and Humans: Toxicology in the One Health Era (IOCTO2026), to be hosted from the 9th to the 11th of September 2026 on an online platform for scholarly e-conferences and discussion groups (https://sciforum.net/event/IOCTO2026).
IOCTO2026 will present the latest studies on the exposure, effects, and risks regarding chemicals and materials in terms of humans and the natural environment, as well as on the development of new approaches to assess and/or manage the toxicological and ecotoxicological risks of chemicals and materials.
All scientists or researchers working within this field are welcome to join this conference and share their insights on the following general and related themes:
- Exposure routes/exposome of emerging contaminants and materials in the environment;
- Wildlife ecotoxicology, sentinel species, and ecosystem health;
- Innovating toxicology: NAMs and computational tools for next-generation risk assessment;
- Molecular and cellular mechanisms, comparative toxicology, and multi-omics integration;
- Risk assessment, policy, and environmental justice in chemical safety.
