Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the intricate and often complex world of ecotoxicology, with a particular focus on the impact of nanoparticles on the environment and living organisms. We are interested in the ecotoxicity of a range of nanoparticles, including, but not limited to, microplastics, nanoplastics, graphene oxide, titanium dioxide nanoparticles, and single-walled carbon nanotubes. It will focus on nanoparticle ecotoxicology, as well as the combined exposure risks that arise from the presence of nanoparticles alongside pesticides, heavy metals, and persistent organic pollutants in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. There will be a significant focus on developing models that can predict the outcomes of nanoparticle exposure, as well as investigating the molecular mechanisms that underlie the observed toxic effects. This includes research into how nanoparticles can alter cellular processes and contribute to oxidative stress, genotoxicity, and other adverse outcomes. This Special Issue will bring together interdisciplinary research works that can enhance our understanding of the complex interactions between nanoparticles and other pollutants and how these interactions influence toxicity profiles at the molecular level. This knowledge is crucial in developing strategies to mitigate environmental pollution and protect ecological health.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Dr. Juan Wang
Guest Editor
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. Toxics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
