Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The identification and characterization of environment and human toxicological risk remain long-term challenges in environmental research and public health. Thousands of chemicals are currently produced and used, together with a few hundred new chemicals being designed and developed every year. These chemicals are ubiquitously detected in environmental media and biota matrices. At the same time, legacy pollutants, such as chlorinated pesticides and their metabolites, are still a concern due to their high detection rates in the general population. Other environmental stressors, such as magnetic fields and noise, also induce short- and long-term implications for human health. Only a few of these environmental stressors and even fewer combination mixtures have been thoroughly studied in regard to their health risks, which represent continuous challenges for toxicological research.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the resulting knowledge gained about environmental stressors and their risks to human health. New research papers, reviews, case reports, and conference papers that fulfill knowledge gaps as well as present conclusions or perspectives on environment and human toxicological risk are welcome to this Special Issue. Other manuscript types, including methodological papers, brief reports, and commentaries, that provide new advanced approaches or insights to monitor, model, and assess environmental health are also welcome.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
