Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inorganic and organic compounds are an essential part of our daily life. However, the careless use of chemicals can be dangerous, generating toxic agents that have a negative impact on human health and the environment. In recent years, the interest and attention of the scientific community given to the development of improved analytical methods and techniques for the analysis and removal of pollutants from the environment have increased. Consequently, innovative methods for the determination of trace amounts of heavy metals, anions, and organic compounds are needed.
An important factor in human health-related and toxicology studies is the balance between environmental pollutants and antioxidant defenses in biological systems. Therefore, the toxic effect of pollutants can be assessed under stressful environmental conditions, especially due to the oxidative damage induced by different classes of chemical pollutants. Considering this, toxic heavy metal poisoning of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems is a serious environmental issue with severe health implications.
Based on these considerations, this Special Issue aims to attract high-level research in the field of removing toxic agents from water, air, and soil, with the aim of protecting the environment and human health. Thus, the purpose of this Special Issue is to investigate the effects of metal ions on the environment, their toxicity to human health, and the creation of novel treatments or removal methods for these pollutants using natural resources. Additionally, this Special Issue focuses on the use of nanotechnology and nanomedicine to address metal ion toxicity

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.
