Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of the effects of environmental pollutants on human health has received widespread attention, including whether traditional pollutants such as particulate matter and heavy metals, or new pollutants such as nanoparticles and microplastics, can have a serious impact on the environment and human health. Research into the potential toxic effects and mechanisms of environmental pollutants can provide a scientific basis for related prevention work.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish research on the potential toxicity and mechanisms of environmental pollutants affecting humans or the environment. We encourage the use of novel methods such as multi-omics techniques or research on new pollutants such as nanomaterials. Research using biomarkers to conduct biological monitoring to assess the impact of environmental or occupational pollutants on human exposure or health is welcomed, as well as reviews summarizing relevant recent advances.
In Volume I, we published papers exploring the impacts of various environmental exposures (including air pollutants, heavy metals, nanoparticles, etc.) on human and animal health, covering aspects like neuro damage, cell cytotoxicity, health-related associations, and genetic damage, advancing our understanding of environmental–health relationships. We focus on environmental exposure and its effects on biological systems; original research articles, communications, and reviews in this area are welcome to be submitted.

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. 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.
