Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH—ISSN 1660-4601, Scopus and PubMed Indexed) is pleased to announce the launch of a new Special Issue entitled "Cancer Risks of Industrial Metal Pollution".
Metals such as cadmium, lead and mercury, all pollutants, are often present in the air due to different types of industrial activity. Even when their concentration in the atmosphere is low, they can accumulate in the soil and enter the food chain. Multiple health effects are associated with exposure to metals, with varying degrees of severity and conditions: kidney and bone problems, neurobehavioral and developmental disorders, elevated blood pressure, and potentially even lung cancer. Although technological improvements have led to a decrease in environmental exposure, metals are still present in the atmosphere and can even be pushed far from their emission sources by atmospheric transport.
This Special Issue of the IJERPH is an excellent opportunity for experts in these areas to share the available information on the sources, chemical properties, and spatial distribution of environmental pollution with metals caused by industrial pollution and evaluate potential health risks in developing and developed countries.
Dr. Maria Fiore
Guest Editor
