Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the Special Issue “Pharmacological Intervention against Toxicity of Environmental Pollutants and Stresses”, we emphasize that our exclusive focus is on human health, addressing the pharmacological study and efficacy assessment of various drugs or chemicals that alleviate the toxic effects caused by environmental pollutants and stresses. We invite manuscripts that explore this critical area, with the scope including but not limited to the following: (1) Risk assessment and intervention of different environmental pollutants and stresses; (2) cellular and molecular mechanisms of pharmacological intervention; (3) therapy on diseases relevant to environmental pollutants and stresses; (4) new methods or strategies of pharmacological intervention against toxicity of environmental pollutants and stresses. Recently, there has been a pressing need to mitigate the adverse health impacts of environmental pollutants (such as emergent contaminants) and stressors (such as heat stress) that are increasingly recognized as the global health threat. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to provide insights on effective strategies to protect and restore human health by exploring the potential of pharmacological agents to counteract the toxic effects of environmental pollutants and stresses.
