Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pollution has been reported to be the world’s largest environmental cause of disease and premature death (Landrigan et al.). The WHO recently reported that 24% of all global deaths (and 28% of deaths among children under 5) were linked to the environment. This 24%, representing 13.7 million deaths annually, has been attributed to modifiable environmental risks, accounting for ~1 in 4 total global deaths. Despite the existence of several risk factors, air and water pollution, poor diet, and tobacco use have contributed significantly.
This Special Issue focuses on contemporary environmental health-related problems (including pollution and climate change), exposure assessments (including, but not limited to, metals, PFAS, PAHs, tobacco smoke and pesticides), and adverse health outcomes (including ischaemic heart disease, respiratory diseases, cognitive impairment, adverse birth outcomes and epigenetic changes). The Special Issue aims to foster coordinated efforts to promote healthy environments through well-established and cost-effective interventions, including environmental health promotion.
