Bioavailability, Biotransformation and Biotoxicity Induced by Pesticide Exposure

Dear Colleagues,

The special issue aims to delve into the complex interplay between pesticide exposure and its effects on bioavailability, biotransformation processes, and resulting biotoxicity in environmental and biological systems. This issue welcomes contributions that explore a range of topics related to pesticide impacts, including but not limited to:

• Assessing pesticide bioavailability and bioaccumulation in organisms
• Investigating biotransformation pathways and degradation mechanisms of pesticides in the environment
• Understanding biochemical responses and metabolic alterations induced by pesticide exposure
• Evaluating the impacts of pesticide exposure on biodiversity and ecosystem stability
• Assessing potential risks and health implications of pesticide exposure on human populations.

The primary goal is to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers to share novel insights and research findings regarding the biological effects of pesticide exposure, spanning from molecular interactions to ecosystem-level consequences. Contributions will be situated within the broader context of pesticide research, bridging gaps in understanding and proposing potential solutions to mitigate adverse effects on human health and ecological balance.

We invite researchers and scholars to contribute original research articles, reviews, and case studies to advance our understanding of pesticide-induced biological effects and promote sustainable agricultural practices and environmental health.

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.
