Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the rapid growth of the world economy, various pollutants pose a threat to the aquatic environment and ultimately human health, as well as creating preconditions for the emergence of new toxins originating from various industries and human activities. Although the toxicity of heavy metals, radionuclides, and organic toxicants for aquatic organisms has been a popular research topic for a long time, not all issues of bioaccumulation, toxicity, physiological responses, and defense mechanisms have been resolved for all toxic substances.
This Special Issue will focus on highlighting the elucidation of both the actual health hazards caused by environmental pollution and the mechanisms of contaminant toxicity, including defense mechanisms. Research on contaminant bioaccumulation and toxicity in field or model organisms, from molecular to whole organism levels, including effects on organisms or populations, are welcome. Authors are invited to submit original research papers, reviews, and short communications.

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.
