Trending and Emerging
- Impact of Climate Change on Health:
There is an increasing focus on the health implications of climate change, particularly studies examining how extreme weather events, temperature fluctuations, and air quality variations affect public health outcomes. - Microplastics and Environmental Health:
Research on microplastics and their implications for human health is rapidly emerging, with studies exploring their sources, exposure pathways, and toxicological effects becoming more prominent. - Cumulative and Mixture Exposure Assessments:
A growing trend towards understanding the health effects of cumulative exposures and chemical mixtures, reflecting the complex realities of environmental exposure scenarios faced by populations. - Health Disparities Linked to Environmental Exposures:
Research addressing health disparities related to environmental exposures is gaining attention, focusing on how socioeconomic status, race, and geography influence vulnerability to pollution. - Use of Advanced Technologies in Exposure Assessment:
Emerging methodologies such as machine learning, multi-omics approaches, and innovative biomonitoring techniques are increasingly utilized to enhance the understanding of exposure and health relationships. - Public Health Responses to Environmental Risks:
Studies evaluating the effectiveness of public health interventions and policies aimed at mitigating environmental risks are becoming more frequent, emphasizing the need for evidence-based decision-making. - Focus on Emerging Contaminants:
There is a notable shift towards investigating emerging contaminants, particularly PFAS and other novel pollutants, reflecting heightened awareness of their environmental persistence and potential health impacts.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemical Exposure Studies:
Research focusing solely on traditional chemical exposures without considering the complex interactions of mixtures or the role of emerging contaminants appears to be less prevalent, as the field moves towards understanding the cumulative effects of multiple exposures. - Basic Environmental Science without Direct Health Implications:
Studies that explore environmental science aspects without a clear link to human health outcomes are becoming less common, as the journal emphasizes research that directly informs public health and policy. - Non-Quantitative Risk Assessments:
There seems to be a waning interest in non-quantitative assessments of environmental risks, with a shift towards more rigorous quantitative approaches that employ advanced modeling and statistical techniques. - Focus on Historical Contaminants:
Research dedicated to historical contaminants (e.g., legacy pollutants) without addressing current and emerging threats may be declining, as contemporary issues like microplastics and PFAS gain more attention.
