Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Humans are exposed to air pollutants such as fine particulate matter (PM2.5), toxic metals such as cadmium and arsenic, and pesticides in the environment, and in many cases, these induce health problems. In addition, these toxic substances induce the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through their own properties as radicals or by acting on our human tissues and cells. For example, it has been confirmed in cellular and animal experiments as well as clinical studies that air pollutants such as PM2.5 induce excessive ROS production, which in turn induces lung injury and cardiovascular damage. Therefore, discovering the detailed mechanisms of oxidative stress induced by toxic substances and how to prevent it is a critical issue for maintaining our health.
As Guest Editor, I invite you to contribute to the Special Issue on “Oxidative Stress and Environmental Toxicology”. Original articles and reviews will be published online in Antioxidants.
Dr. Ken-ichiro Tanaka
Guest Editor
