Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental health is the study of the action of the environment, broadly defined, on human health and wellness, and the action of human activity on the environment. The general paradigm of environmental health is exposure → genes → physiology→ health effect → policy.
We invite the submission of manuscripts that focus on the use of exposomics for exposure assessments; the mechanisms of toxicity by altering gene expression through epigenomics, DNA or RNA expression; cytokine network regulation; endocrine mimics in the environment; the developmental origins of adult health and disease; allostatic load and disaster recovery; infectious diseases and one health; and disease surveillance.
In this Special Issue, entitled “Trends in Modern Environmental Health”, we aim to collect different perspectives that will open up new directions for research into environmental health in the context of public health.
