Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Studies by the World Health Organization (WHO) have shown that almost all of the world's population breathes air that exceeds WHO air quality limits, posing a significant threat to human health. To understand mechanisms of the health effects caused by air pollution, accurate exposure assessments around ambient environments and inside human bodies from in vitro to in vivo studies need to be discovered. In addition, the linkage between ambient air pollutant exposure, air pollutant biomarkers in human bodies, and mechanisms of their action related to health effects needs to be further elucidated. In the Special Issue “Unraveling the Health Impacts of Air Pollution: Assessments and Mechanisms”, we aim to present a collection of original articles or reviews on the following topics:
- Exposure assessment: investigating ambient air pollutants at fine spatial and temporal scales.
- Identification of key components: identifying the critical components of air pollutants that affect human health.
- Mechanisms of action: exploring the biological and molecular mechanisms through which air pollutants influence health.
- Innovative toxicity assessment methods: developing new methodologies for determining the toxicity and health impacts of air pollutants.

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.
