Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of clinical toxicology is a vast field encompassing many facets relevant to individual patient care and to public health, with a scope ranging from environmental poisonings to occupational and chemical exposures to toxico-surveillance and legislation/regulatory activism. Toxicological threats and poisonings have existed for centuries. Documented in stories and writings from cultures throughout the world, poisonings have shaped our past history, have influenced our present (climate change and water quality, opioid epidemic and emergence of fentanyl analogues, radiological incidents, etc.), and will undoubtedly impact our future. Investigations in the epidemiology and mechanisms of natural toxins have led to improved patient care and the discovery of numerous therapeutics utilized in modern-day medicine.
This Special Issue in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on studies that improve our understanding of the underlying mechanism/pathophysiology, clinical effects, or management of known, poorly characterized, rare, or novel poisons. New research papers, reviews, case reports, and conference papers are welcome to this Issue. Other manuscript types accepted include methodological papers, position papers, brief reports, and commentaries.
