Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to introduce a Special Issue titled "Hazard Assessment of per- and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Sub-Stances (PFAS)" in Toxics. This collection of papers aims to address the growing concern surrounding the environmental and health impacts of PFAS, a class of chemicals that have become ubiquitous in our ecosystems and daily lives. These substances, often referred to as "forever chemicals," are persistent in the environment and have been linked to a wide range of adverse health effects, making their hazard assessment critical for public safety and policy development. Through this Special Issue, we aim to garner a community of researchers dedicated to exploring the latest advancements in PFAS hazard evaluation, risk assessment methodologies, and mitigation strategies.
Led by a team of expert Guest Editors, this Special Issue provides a platform for sharing cutting-edge research and facilitating interdisciplinary discussions that can shape the future of PFAS hazard assessment. The articles published in this collection will cover a broad spectrum of topics, from toxicological studies to environmental monitoring, and will contribute to a deeper understanding of the risks associated with PFAS exposure. We encourage researchers and practitioners to engage with the findings presented here as they will play a crucial role in advancing both scientific knowledge and practical solutions to mitigate the effects of these persistent contaminants.
Dr. Tracey L. Woodlief
Guest Editor
