Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We have issued the Special Issue of Toxics entitled, “Chemical and biological threats, hazard potential and countermeasures”. In this special issue we would like to pay attention to various aspects of toxicology specifically focused on the chemical and biological threats, which may accidentally or on purpose endanger human health. Besides the characterization of such threats and their biological consequences we will focus on the available and novel experimental countermeasures capable to protect from and/or threat such exposures.

We would like to encourage our colleagues from this field for the submission of review or original research articles that encompasses this field at different levels including chemical, biological, medical and epidemiological approaches.
