Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Complex exposures to mixtures, chemical and non-chemical, are prevalent in our lives. Often such exposures are unintentional, even though they inherit a potential to cause adverse health effects. Incidentally the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe all contribute to this phenomenon. For the past several decades, there has been a demand and a growing emphasis on studies to address scientific issues and uncertainties in the evaluation of mixtures. Some of these studies have clarified our understanding of the basics of mixtures toxicology, potential role of non-interactive or interactive mechanisms, and manifestation of their pathways to cause health effects. Hence, risk assessors and decision makers should be cognizant of this knowledge-base to protect our communities from mixtures exposures. This special issue will highlight the recent findiings, identify and encourage innovative methods development that must be undertaken as influx of new mixtures continues in our communities. Authors are welcome to submit original research papers, short communications, or review articles. We are looking forward to your contributions to make this an outstanding Special Issue that will capture the current literature.
