Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Synthetic chemicals emitted into the environment now exceed safe limits and threaten the stability of ecosystems. There exist more than 160 million chemicals, of which 350,000 are available commercially. In 2019, a small number of synthetic chemicals with known mechanisms of toxicity contributed to more than 2 million deaths globally. Hence, the full impact of synthetic chemicals on human and ecological health remains unknown.
Addressing this complex challenge requires an accurate, reliable, and robust analysis of the contact between chemical pollutants and human and ecological receptors, the fate and transport of the stressors from their sources, and the potential adverse impacts on the health of humans and the environment. Technological advances have enabled an association to be made between chemical exposure and adverse health outcomes via the integration of multi-omics and high-throughput screening, suspect and non-target analysis or machine learning.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest advances in exposure science and environmental risk studies that mechanistically link chemical exposure to adverse health outcomes in humans and the environment. We are pleased to welcome original research papers, reviews, and short communications that contribute to research on exposure assessment, exposure pathways, novel analytical approaches, human behavior and exposure risk, big data and AI, and metabolomics and biomarkers.
Dr. Edmond Sanganyado

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.
