Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New and emerging pollutants present a global challenge with potentially serious threats to food and environmental safety. One of the environmental contaminants is per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), which are a group of synthetic organofluorine chemical compounds. Some of the most common examples of PFASs are PFOS, PFOA, PTFE (teflon), PFCAs, PFSAs, and FTOHs. There is a critical need to assess whether food or the environment will experience deleterious effects as a result of these substances. As such, efficient toxicological tools are of great significance in order to achieve early warnings of the potential risks to both food and the environment. Based on this motivation, this Special Issue focuses on using innovative toxicological tools for exploring the toxicological effects or potential risks in food- and environment-related matrices, such as, but not limited to, metabonomics, lipidomics, the integration of multi-omics, molecular spectrum, mass spectrum, electrochemistry, chromatography, nanotechnology, etc. Authors are invited to submit original research papers, reviews, and short communications.
