Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of modern industry and agriculture, the problem of environmental pollution is increasingly becoming more serious all over the world. Environmental toxicants have been reported to pose a major threat to poultry farming, and the persistent exposure to toxic substances in the farming environment can directly or indirectly endanger the health of poultry. Numerous studies have proven that overexposure to pollutants can induce toxic damage to multiple organs, leading to physiological disorders and death. In addition, the accumulation of environmental pollutants in poultry can also increase the risk to human health from the persistent presence of these poisons in the food chain. In order to build a safe environment for poultry farming and to provide healthy food for human consumption, this issue focuses on the toxicity mechanism of various environmental toxicants (including metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, biocides, nanomaterials, polymers, etc.) in poultry. We hope that this Special Issue will help us to understand the impact of environmental toxicants on poultry health and human food. This issue provides a platform for in-depth discussion of environmental pollution on the healthy breeding of poultry.
This issue welcomes original research articles, reviews, communications, and short notes that are related to the effect of environmental pollutants on poultry health. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide an advanced forum for the dissemination of knowledge related to environmental toxicity in poultry. Our aim is to gather the latest experimental and theoretical research papers in one place and reach a larger scientific audience.
This issue not only encourages research to describe our understanding of the exposure, effects, and risks of environmental pollutant in poultry but also supports approaches to assess and/or manage the toxicological and ecotoxicological risks of chemicals and materials present in the environment. The issue covers a wide range of research areas, including but not limited to environmental toxic substances such as metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, biocides, nanomaterials, and polymers.
