Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to invite you to submit your scientific contributions to this Special Issue titled "Environmental Toxicology: The Effects of Chemical Exposure on Animal Physiological and Biochemical Indicators."
This Special Issue aims to compile original and significant research that evaluates the impact of emerging and known environmental contaminants on animal health. Understanding the complex interactions between pollutants and animal health necessitates integrated approaches that combine field studies, laboratory experiments, and advanced analytical techniques.
We welcome original research articles and reviews. Potential research areas include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Experimental in vitro and in vivo studies;
- Field studies utilizing animals as environmental sentinels;
- The development of new diagnostic and analytical methods for contaminant detection;
- The development of new biomarkers.
We eagerly anticipate your valuable contributions.
