Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The primary scope of this Special Issue is to publish a series of scientific articles that describe either a practical approach or analytical method for characterizing the human exposome carrying environmental toxicants. Environmental toxicants include, but are not limited to, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, flame retardants, pesticides, plasticizers, heavy metals, chemicals generated from tobacco/cannabis smoke, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Emerging environmental contaminants to which humans may be exposed and which may contribute to health outcomes are also considered. For an article to be considered for publication, it must demonstrate the ability to measure more than one class of environmentally toxic chemicals or chemicals of concern in relevant matrices (water, dust, soil, urine, blood, etc.) that permit characterization of the human exposome. Any articles describing an analytical approach to measure at least two types of biomarkers will also be considered. In addition, any article outlining analytical method development must propose a method that has been validated following an established protocol such as a method by the FDA, SWGTOX, or a combination of both. Some validating parameters may be excluded if they are deemed irrelevant.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
