Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The world's environmental problems are becoming increasingly prominent, and their impacts on human health have attracted widespread attention. Since human exposure is mixed and complex, people are increasingly interested in understanding the relationships between environmental exposures and human health from a broader perspective. This led to the concept of chemical exposome to comprehensively evaluate chemical exposures and their risks. For the high-throughput detection of endogenous chemicals, metabolomics systematically detects endogenous small molecule substrates, intermediates, and products of cell metabolism, which is considered to be closest to the phenotype and provides important information for understanding physiological and pathological processes, and its application in toxicology has great significance. Integrating Environmental Chemicals Exposomics and Metabolomics provides important information for screening out key chemicals leading to impaired outcomes and their toxic metabolic signatures so that the potentially toxic effects of these chemical exposures and underlying mechanisms can be elucidated. This Special Issue focuses on exposomics and metabolomics regarding toxic chemicals and materials, and original research articles, communications, and reviews in this area are welcome.

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. Toxics 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 2600 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.
