INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HYGIENE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
Scope & Guideline
Driving impactful solutions for a healthier environment.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Environmental Exposure Assessment:
The journal publishes research assessing various environmental exposures, such as air pollution, chemical contaminants, and pathogens, and their associations with health outcomes. - Public Health Interventions:
It emphasizes studies that evaluate the effectiveness of public health interventions aimed at improving hygiene practices, sanitation, and overall health in different populations. - Biomonitoring Studies:
A significant portion of the research involves biomonitoring to assess human exposure to pollutants, chemicals, and pathogens, providing crucial data for policy and health guidelines. - Epidemiological Research:
The journal features epidemiological studies that explore the relationships between environmental factors and health outcomes, contributing valuable insights into disease prevention. - Climate Change and Health:
Research related to the health impacts of climate change, including extreme weather events and their implications for water and sanitation, is a key focus area.
Trending and Emerging
- Chemical Exposure and Health Outcomes:
There is a growing emphasis on the health impacts of exposure to chemicals such as phthalates, PFAS, and flame retardants, reflecting increased public awareness and regulatory scrutiny. - Mental Health and Environmental Factors:
Emerging research links environmental factors, including air pollution and green spaces, to mental health outcomes, highlighting the importance of environmental psychology in public health. - Impact of Climate Change on Health:
Studies exploring the health implications of climate change, including heatwaves and air quality degradation, are increasingly featured, indicating a shift in research priorities. - Infectious Disease Surveillance through Environmental Monitoring:
The journal is expanding its focus on using environmental monitoring, such as wastewater analysis, to track infectious diseases like SARS-CoV-2, emphasizing the need for innovative surveillance methods. - Community-Level Interventions and Health Equity:
Research addressing health equity through community-level sanitation and hygiene interventions is gaining traction, highlighting the importance of social determinants of health.
Declining or Waning
- Occupational Health in Traditional Industries:
Research on traditional industries, such as agriculture and manufacturing, has decreased, possibly due to a shift towards more pressing contemporary issues such as climate change and urban health. - Historical Environmental Health Studies:
There is a declining focus on historical studies that assess past exposures, as the journal seeks to prioritize current and future challenges in environmental health. - Localized Sanitation Issues:
Studies focusing solely on localized sanitation issues without broader implications or connections to global health trends have become less frequent. - Single Exposures without Contextual Analysis:
Research examining single environmental exposures without considering the broader context of multiple exposures and their cumulative effects is waning as interdisciplinary approaches gain traction. - Conventional Water Quality Studies:
Traditional studies on water quality without innovative methodologies or integration with human health outcomes are becoming less common as the field evolves.
