ARCHIVES OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION AND TOXICOLOGY
Scope & Guideline
Fostering dialogue on toxicological effects and solutions.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Environmental Contaminants:
Research on various environmental contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, microplastics, and persistent organic pollutants (POPs), emphasizing their occurrence, sources, and effects on biological systems. - Toxicological Assessments:
Studies utilizing a range of toxicological assessment methodologies, including in vivo and in vitro experiments, biomarker analyses, and risk assessments to evaluate the impacts of contaminants on aquatic and terrestrial organisms. - Ecological Risk Assessment:
Focus on evaluating the ecological risks posed by contaminants, including the development of models and methodologies to assess the impact on biodiversity and ecosystem health. - Biomonitoring and Bioindicators:
Research utilizing biological indicators to assess environmental quality and contamination levels, including studies on the bioaccumulation of toxic substances in various species. - Health Risk Assessments:
Investigations into the potential health risks associated with exposure to environmental contaminants, including studies on human exposure pathways and epidemiological assessments.
Trending and Emerging
- Microplastics Research:
An increasing number of studies focus on microplastics, investigating their sources, distribution, and ecological effects, particularly on aquatic organisms and food webs. - Cumulative Effects of Contaminants:
Research is trending towards assessing the cumulative effects of multiple contaminants, including their interactions and combined toxicity, rather than evaluating them in isolation. - Use of Advanced Analytical Techniques:
Emerging use of advanced analytical techniques, such as omics technologies (genomics, proteomics), for understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of toxicity, highlighting the journal’s commitment to methodological innovation. - Climate Change and Contaminant Dynamics:
Growing emphasis on how climate change influences the behavior and toxicity of environmental contaminants, including altered exposure pathways and effects on biodiversity. - Health Implications of Environmental Contaminants:
Increased interest in linking environmental contaminant exposure to human health outcomes, particularly in vulnerable populations, reflecting a broader public health perspective.
Declining or Waning
- Legacy Pollutants:
Research on legacy pollutants, such as PCBs and DDT, has decreased as newer contaminants, particularly those associated with emerging technologies and materials, gain attention. - Single-Species Toxicology Studies:
There has been a noticeable decline in studies focused solely on single-species toxicity assessments, with a shift towards more integrative approaches that consider community and ecosystem-level impacts. - Traditional Risk Assessment Models:
The use of traditional risk assessment models that do not account for complex interactions of multiple stressors has waned, as researchers increasingly adopt more holistic and systems-based approaches.
