Environmental Exposures, Disasters, and Population Health: Epidemiology and Evaluation

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental disasters, such as industrial accidents (e.g., chemical plant explosions and tailings dam failures), major chemical spills, and wildfires, release massive pollutants into the environment, leading to severe and lasting impacts on ecosystem and population health. Beyond these acute events, chronic pollution from ongoing industrial emissions and historical contamination also poses significant long-term health risks. Current research challenges include understanding the environmental behavior and human exposure pathways of contaminants and accurately assessing health risks across different exposure scenarios.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Topic, which focuses on the intersection of environmental exposures, environmental disasters, and public health. This Topic aims to gather cutting-edge research that employs epidemiological methods and environmental science techniques to assess exposure levels, quantify health risks, and evaluate intervention strategies in the context of both sudden-onset disasters and lingering contamination.

For this Topic, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

1. Health risk assessment of chronic exposure to pollutants.
2. Localization of exposure parameters.
3. Climate change and public health.
4. Environmental disaster-related exposure and health outcomes.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
