Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, with the accelerating process of industrialization, the natural environment and social environment are also undergoing drastic changes. The resulting adverse environmental factors have become important risk factors threatening the health of people around the world. Among them, environmental chemical factors (such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, phenols/bisphenols, pesticides, PAHs, brominated flame retardants, organophosphorus flame retardants, etc.) have been proven to be closely related to a variety of adverse human health outcomes due to their extensive exposure in the environment and population. However, studies on the adverse effects of chemicals in the environment and population and their mechanisms are still limited.
This Special Issue aims to address the recent emerging environmental health concerns and to communicate new knowledge from up-to-date research in the exposure sciences and corresponding toxicology for emerging contaminants.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Food pollution, air pollution, marine pollution and human exposure and their health implications;
- Attention to the chirality (the exposure and toxicity profile) of chiral chemicals;
- Identifying clues linking environmental chemical exposure as well as occupational chemical exposure (intentional and/or unintentional) to adverse health outcomes.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. 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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
