Research on Environmental Exposure, Pollution, and Epidemiology

Dear Colleagues,

Exposure to environmental chemicals, physical agents, and other forms of pollution is associated with a wide range of health impacts. One of the goals of environmental epidemiology is to measure environmental exposure to pollutants and assess the potential health impacts. We invite investigators who are interested in elucidating the role of environmental contaminants or exposure (or mixture) and specific population health outcomes to contribute to the Special Issue. Topics related to environmental exposure to pollutants and vulnerable or marginalized communities are of great interest.  Additionally, we invite researchers to explore any real-world implications of environmental exposure to pollutants and health outcomes that would influence public policy and potentially reduce exposure to the contaminant. New research papers, brief reports, and commentaries are welcome. Potential types of environmental exposure may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Air pollution;
• Water;
• Soil;
• Food;
• Metals and synthetic chemicals;
• Pollutant mixtures.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2500 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
