ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY
Scope & Guideline
Innovating Solutions for Environmental Health Challenges
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Environmental Toxicology:
The journal publishes studies related to the effects of environmental pollutants on human health and ecosystems, including the impact of chemical exposure on biological systems. - Mechanistic Studies:
Research articles often focus on the mechanistic understanding of how various toxins induce cellular damage, inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in different biological models. - Biomarkers and Prognostic Indicators:
The journal emphasizes the identification of biomarkers for toxicity and disease progression, particularly in cancer and other chronic conditions linked to environmental factors. - Ecotoxicology and Risk Assessment:
It covers research on the ecological impacts of pollutants, including studies on aquatic and terrestrial organisms, and assessments of risk associated with exposure to environmental contaminants. - Novel Therapeutics and Protective Agents:
Studies investigating the potential therapeutic effects of natural compounds and drugs in mitigating the effects of environmental toxins are also a key focus area.
Trending and Emerging
- Ferroptosis and Cell Death Mechanisms:
Research on ferroptosis—a form of regulated cell death distinct from apoptosis—is increasingly featured, indicating its relevance in understanding the toxicological effects of heavy metals and oxidative stress. - Microplastics and Nanomaterials:
There is a growing focus on the effects of microplastics and nanomaterials, particularly regarding their ecological impacts and potential toxicological effects on human health. - Epigenetics and Environmental Exposures:
Emerging studies are exploring the epigenetic modifications induced by environmental toxins, highlighting how such changes can affect gene expression and contribute to disease. - Integrated Omics Approaches:
The use of integrated multi-omics approaches (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics) to assess environmental toxicology is on the rise, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of biological responses. - Immunotoxicology:
Research focusing on the effects of environmental pollutants on the immune system is gaining importance, reflecting concerns over how these substances can disrupt immune function and contribute to health issues.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Toxicology Methods:
There has been a noticeable decline in studies focused solely on traditional toxicology methodologies without integrating advanced techniques such as genomics and metabolomics. - Single Compound Studies:
Research that examines the effects of single environmental toxins in isolation has decreased, with a shift toward more complex studies involving mixtures and interactions of multiple substances. - Basic Toxicological Profiles:
The publication of papers detailing basic toxicological profiles of known compounds has waned, as the field moves towards understanding mechanisms and effects at the molecular and cellular levels.
