Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development and increasing use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have brought substantial benefits across a range of applications. However, the potential adverse outcomes and health risks associated with these materials remain not fully understood. Efforts are underway to investigate the biological behaviors, the fate of ENMs, and to establish structure–activity relationships. Developing management strategies to mitigate these risks is essential for ensuring the safe use of ENMs and controlling potential environmental pollution. Nonetheless, grand challenges persist, including understanding the biotransformation processes of ENMs and their associated toxicities, developing appropriate model organisms that accurately mimic human physiology, and assessing the full life cycle of these materials.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest research on the toxicity assessments and safety management strategies of nanomaterials. We also welcome research on the toxicological impacts of micro- and nanoplastics, whether focusing on the identification of particles in real-world environmental samples or investigating toxicity using standardized particles. Studies on methodologies, experimental models, emerging materials, and new findings that advance the safe use and monitoring of potentially hazardous nanomaterials are all welcome.

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.
