Trending and Emerging
- Mental Health Impacts of Environmental Exposures:
There is a rising focus on the links between environmental exposures, particularly air pollution, and mental health outcomes, indicating an expanding recognition of how environmental factors can affect psychological well-being. - Cumulative and Mixture Exposure Assessments:
Research increasingly emphasizes cumulative and mixture assessments of environmental exposures, recognizing that individuals are often simultaneously exposed to multiple pollutants and chemicals. - Climate Change and Health:
The journal is increasingly publishing studies addressing the health impacts of climate change, including extreme weather events and shifts in disease patterns, reflecting a growing concern for how environmental changes influence public health. - Community-Based Participatory Research:
There is a notable increase in community-based participatory research, which actively involves local communities in the research process to address environmental health disparities and improve health outcomes. - Emerging Contaminants and New Technologies:
Research on emerging contaminants, such as PFAS and microplastics, is gaining momentum, alongside studies exploring innovative technologies for exposure assessment and health impact evaluations.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Industrial Pollutants:
Research focusing on traditional industrial pollutants such as asbestos and lead appears to be less frequent, possibly due to increased regulatory measures and a shift in focus towards newer environmental challenges. - Static Models of Risk Assessment:
There is a noticeable reduction in studies relying solely on static models for assessing environmental health risks, as the field increasingly embraces complex modeling approaches that consider multiple exposures and interactions. - Single Exposure Studies:
The journal has seen a decline in single-exposure studies, with a growing preference for research that examines the cumulative effects of multiple exposures, reflecting a more holistic understanding of environmental health.
